What is the purpose of these folders on my Hard Drive?

[o.ash92]

Hi,

I found about 6-7 folders on my hard drive (C) named with a combination of number and letters, as you can see in the screenshot I have provided below.

Can I delete these folders?

If not, what are they for?

Thanks,
Oli

What do they contain, if anything?

They all store various things.

I've taken screenshots of each folder.

Here are the links to them all.

Some of them look important, but are they really needed?

Thanks for taking interest, hope you can help. .

Thanks,

Ah, yes, I knew I had seen them before. I beleive they are folders created from Windows Update. They should just be temps and removable.

Example...
