From what I know, it's a temporary file created by windows-update
I wouldn't touch it....

I just deleted them. They asked for administrative privileges I said yes. They were deleted but I restored them.
I think I will delete them but not now.
Is this good?
If you know anything new tell me.
Thanks.
