Web Dynpro Generated Folders in the DTR perstective

I can see that in the DTR perspective, I have these many folders like gen_wdp, gen_mci etc. These folders as I know are generated by the web dynpro framework. There are other DCs in the DTR which do not have these folders. They have only src folder and .dcdef file. 
These folders are not required on the DTR. These should be manually removed from the DTR as they were manually checked in to DTR at the time of Checkin. Removing web dynpro generated folders from the DTR is easy. Just go to the DTR perspective of your NWDS. Drill down to the _comp folder of your project. Right click on each of the web dynpro generated folder and choose delete->delete subtree. This will ask you to create and activity. Just create an activity. The deletion action will be catured in this Activity. Then checkin this activity, delete the project from you workspace and create it again from the inactive DCs in you DC perspective . Then go to DTR perspective again and drill down to the _comp folder of your project. You will see that web dynpro generated folders are gone.

For a project, on the DTR, only 1 folder called src and only 1 file called .dcdef is required. Everything else is generated by the web dynpro framework when you build a DC. These folders are not needed on the DTR . If they are there on the DTR perspective, your DC will appear broken to whoever creates it on his/her machine.
