The cgi-bin directory is used to contain CGI scripts which are rarely used nowadays but can be called, usually using the Perl coding language. However, since the management of content on your site is beyond the scope of our responsibilities I cannot tell how important the cgi-bin folder is for your domains in particular. Depending on whether or not your site uses the directory or CGI scripts deleting the cgi-bin can either break a site or have no effect. Also, cPanel may automatically regenerate the cgi-bin directory if it is deleted. Usually the cgi-bin takes up little or no space on the server so there is little need to remove it.
