Don't delete it — move it instead
Deleting this folder can break the app or even Windows itself. AiCleanDisk Pro can move it to another drive and leave a link (an NTFS junction) at the original path, so your programs keep working as before. Space on your C: drive is freed, and the move can be restored at any time.
Folder migration and AI analysis on non-system drives are Pro features.
