Redundant htaccess code??

    I’ve got a whole bunch of code in my htaccess file which I’m wondering if it is redundant as it consists mostly of multiple copies of this:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    I’ve put the entire code in a pastebin here: https://pastebin.com/K0E9LLme

    It *seems* to have been put there by the BulletProof Security plug-in which I uninstalled about two years ago.
    Is it safe to remove it – all or part of it?

    – what you posted above is the permalink rewrite code

    – You need only ONE copy of this code in your .htaccess if you are using permalinks.

    Thank you ??

    I am using permalinks so just keep this 

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    and get rid of all the rest.
