I've seen newbb update folders that was not directed to be deleted and other modules with update scripts on the servers. Should I have them all deleted (ofcourse with those updated files backup first)

It is safe to delete these files after updating/installing as these files are no longer needed. It is always advisable to delete update files and installer scripts from your server once finsihed with them to protect your settings, even in case of accidental use or in the extreme but rare case of innapropriate behaviour or curious people.
