Yes, delete it. I recently added a checkbox option to have it delete itself. A malicious person could wreck your installation by running it on the same location (they wouldn't be able to finish the install since they don't have your database info, but they'd be able to make it download and copy the files to attempt to install, by checking the bypass safety checks option).
If you rename it, you'll need to edit it to change the $ourfilename = 'autosetup.php'; line accordingly.
No other files need to be deleted (setup.php isn't a danger since it won't do anything without the database info).

Any other files should I delete or re-name after successful installation?
I am referring to v6.0.11
Thanks
