It's safe to delete that folder. I did it and to date I haven't faced any issues.

    Sorry I should have posted an explanation. I downvoted because this does not really answer the core question of what the folder is... and there is also no source suggesting it's safe to delete the folder (just your own experience as anecdotal evidence).

  • @Jtbandes it depends on the perspective, i understood the concern of the asker (hopefully, since he accepted it) that is about the safety of deleting the folder and i told him about my experience ( i also do a lot of testing ). Anyways thanks for the vote :-)
