    Can someone clarify how many of these there should be? I seem to have one in my root folder and /wordpress folder also – which one is relevant, and which one should I make changes to should I ever need to?

    Second question – I believe I have residual code/text in there from past plugins such as Super Cache etc. but am not comfortable removing it, should I just create new files?

    which one is relevant

    If you are using custom (pretty) permalinks in your WP site, then you will need an .htaccess file in your WP root folder. I have no idea whether the .htaccess file ion your domain root is needed. Perhaps your hosts could assist you with this?

    which one should I make changes to should I ever need to?

    That depends upon what you want to do.

    should I just create new files?

    You could – as long as the new .htaccess file contains the standard rewrite rules for your permalinks.
