I recommend just trying to remove MySql.data.dll first and then reading the error message carefully.  At the top it 
should tell you what dll was trying to load it.  Eliminate that and keep working backwards until things work or you've 
deleted every DLL ;)

No, you don't need them.  We should improve the release process to delete them, but for now you can just remove them 
manually.
