The files you are thinking about are probably the dotfiles, which on a
new install should be pretty minimal.  If you want you can save them, or
you can look in /etc/skel, which is the "skeleton" files included in a
new users $HOME directory.

For a good tutorial on moving /home, take a look at this article:
