  Keep them. If you delete them they will no longer appear on your posts. It has happened to me as well that images I inserted for some reason showed as unattached. You can attach them manually. Instructions here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/media/unattached-files/

  Your choice, really. If you’re not going to use them later on, sure. Just keep in mind images you uploaded as custom headers or featured images will also show as unattached if you didn’t use them anywhere else. So make very sure an image is unused before you delete it. The media library does not have a recycle bin, so deletion is permanent.
