Filler words can help you reach a higher word count, but if you want to be more concise, delete them. I find that filler words can help in rough drafts, but in final drafts, they sometimes detract from the power of the sentence.

For example:

This was founded. So people came.

is slightly less powerful than

This was founded. People came.

It has to do with the order of the words and such.
