Should I Edit Sitemap Before Submitting to GWMT?

[DonB]

I use the XML sitemap generator at

http://www.auditmypc.com/xml-sitemap.asp

and use the filter that forces the tool to respect robots.txt exclusions. This generator allows me to review the entire sitemap before downloading it. Depending on the site, I often see all kinds of non-content files still listed on the sitemap.

My question is, should I be editing the sitemap to remove every file listed except ones I really want spidered, or just ignore them and let the Google spiderbot figure it all out after I upload-submit the XML?

normaly  Google read every day the sitemap, for this is better upload a really sitemap and avoid that index some pages with a robots.txt
