see:
FAQ: How can I move my gallery installation from one server to another?

the one folder you could empty before the move is g2data/cache/. but if you do, you'll lose all your thumbnails / resized images / watermarked images and gallery will take a long time to build them again on the new server.
i'd delete g2data/cache/* with the exception of g2data/cache/derivative/. derivative is where thumbs and resizes are stored.
