Other than that - why do you want to delete them?

No real reason, thought those were expendable. Another source said they are necessary, so I will probably leave well enough alone, unless, new information comes in.

Further thoughts: I don't know enough about it to work out if it can be deleted. From what I can find out it does need to be present with the correct folder permissions even if the contents are cleaned up.

All the advice I see states to leave it alone unless it's growing in size with a huge number of entries being added on a regular basis.

Callendar, several sources say leave it be, unless, as you posted, it becomes a problem.
