Keep the AZW3 and delete the rest if that's all you're interested in after splitting. None of the files/folders are necessary for Kindles (new or old) except for two: the .mobi and the .azw3.
Keep in mind that charging money for Kindlegen-created books on non-Amazon outlets runs afoul of the terms under which you're granted permission to use Kindlegen free of charge. Distributing for free is fine, though. I don't pretend to know how aggressively they would pursue such a license violation, I just thought you should be aware.

AFAIK, "non-Amazon outlets," such as they are,
don't charge delivery fees. Therefore, this seems like a lot of brain-damage, for no return whatsoever. Secondly, depending upon the type of FXL you're making,
you won't have a KF7 portion (e.g., Comix, and kids' books) assuming, of course, that you're making the book the usual way, as opposed to using something like Calibre. Third, Amazon only charges delivery fees on the portion of the file that's delivered, e.g., the KF8 if it's a FXL, so...again, not sure as to the "why" here?
The only "non-Amazon outlets" that I know of don't ACCEPT FXL files for sale. (I guess that would be "fourth."). Where are you planning to sell this? Maybe someone here can help with that, if they have experience there.
FWIW.
