Which files are you referring to that you need/want to delete?  html/cfm files?
I would suppose you may want to delete them if several other people are
sharing the same server and you dont want them looking at your files.

The form processing really depends on what you want to do.  Are you planning
on inserting that information into a database?  Just displaying the information
on a page?  Emailing the information?

The cfforms are not much different from an html form, with the exception you
add "cf" in front of the form tags and it has some built in validation.

Heres an example of a basic form with a checkbox.

<cfform name="myform" method="post">
<cfinput type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" value="yes">
<cfinput type="submit" name="submit_form" value="submit me">
</cfform>

Once you submit the form, it will resend the form variables back to itself -
so if you needed to display the form variable - you could do something like
this:

<cfif isDefined('form.mycheckbox')>
<cfoutput>
the check box was selected with value: #form.mycheckbox#
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
