Is it a viable option, if one does NOT want to use the Public Site site collection, to delete it? Will that remove the Public Site links (ie: the Public Site links that show up in MySites)? I know we can change it to being Offline, but there are some in our organization that aren't sure that's good enough... especially if we aren't using it.
If it is an option, how? And if we exercise it, can we add it back in at a later date?
If it's not an option to delete, I assume we could go in and add code to the default page and simply redirect to our Intranet, right?
