Answer 1

For subsites, if you want to delete that folder after the web is provisioned, you can use the SPWebEventReceiver's WebProvisioned event. Here is an Example.

The event receiever as per the documentation, wont work when root web of the site collection is created. In this case, you can Staple a feature to the mysite so that when a mysite is created, the feature gets activate. On the feature activated event receiver, you can write the logic to delete the folder. Refer this link

Answer 2

You will have to create a feature which will get activated on creation of all my site and write code to delete the default folder programmatically. You will have to make use of feature stapling technique to achieve this.

Template Name for my site template is SPSMSITEHOST#0.
