Guil said to move the css file scss. was I supposed to delete the css file from the css folder?

cause at first I didn't and all my styles were still in place. But for guil they were not. So I deleted my css file. But now Guil is talking about sass updating the css file so I don't know if I was supposed to leave the css file in place.

Should be fine deleting it. If there isn't an existing file Sass will create a new one when it detects an update when --watch is active. If there's an existing file, it'll simply update it.
