No, No, No....

If you are trying to save space, get rid of the Kazaa downloads :P

The best way to save space is to burn your mp3's onto a CD and
clean them of your drive.

All this deleting, the next question would be:

Why do I get a blue screen?

Check this link, i had the same question, and i found the use of this folder, is to have multiple versions of dll related files and avoid crashes.
