If you're looking at the files in Windows Explorer, and you're viewing the folders beneath the C:\Users folder, then it's likely safe to delete.
To be sure, MOVE (don't copy) the folder to a new location to see if everything stays the way that you want it. Then, once you're satisfied with it, you can delete it.
