I currently have both urls of my site listed in google and yahoo siteexplorer etc, there is some difference in the pages that are indexed.
Do I need both, or can I delete the one with the www at the start and then let it find all pages using the new url? I have already set my preferred domain in google but can not see a way to do it in yahoo.
Does this even make a diff to how they will index my site, or is it just so I can access stats etc?
My .htaccess is all set up to remove the www anyways.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

They store personal information about you – Cookies remember the sites you visit and the purchases you make and advertisers (and hackers) can use this information to their advantage. So to improve your privacy, it's best to delete them regularly.
Your browser tends to hold onto information, and over time this can cause problems with logging in to or loading websites. It is always a good idea to clear out your cache, or browser history, and clear cookies on a regular basis.
If you do not make many webpage alterations or want to see web alterations in real-time you might be better off only clearing your cache once a month or bi-monthly.
If you use URL rewrite to rewrite your www-URL to your non-www-URL you shouldn't need to delete it. Then, the search engines should only list the non-www-URLs.

If it were me, I'd configure Apache to send 301 messages back telling clients to move to one or the other hostname.
Either hostname is fine, just pick one, and make it stick. That way, Google's page-rank will know to coalesce its databases to just the one entry, and you'll strengthen external links into your site by making it very easy for everyone to standardize when they cut-n-paste your URLs to their friends.
