Please be more clear with your question. I'm not sure what you are asking, and by the lack of response to the thread, others are having trouble as well. Help us to help you.

Here is the question:

I installed webmin on debian and BIND DNS server were there, but in bind dns server was the none dns before i crated new dns.

The dns was 0, 127, 255, Root Zone and localhost.

Can i delete them?

Show the exact zone files, or exact statements you see on the screen in webmin, not partial statements.

I'm assuming 127 means really 127.0.0.0/8 and that is the loopback network, which you should not delete. And the 0 is 0.0.0.0/8 which you should not delete. I'm not sure what 255 is in webmin. The root zone (root hints) are required. As is the localhost A record.

Why do you feel you need to delete them? The better question to ask is "what are they for?", and "how does DNS work?"
