Should you edit/delete the default apache site config?

Solution 1:

Just disable them if you're not using them

a2dissite default
a2dissite default-ssl
apachectl graceful

This simply removes the link to sites-enabled, so they're not included in the config anymore

Solution 2:

You can disable the default files which is equivalent to removing the link from sites-enabled directory.

a2dissite default

If you don't want to disable default site but want to hide the directories then you can put up a home page (index.html) in /var/www/ or hide the directory indexes.
