From another forum, I was able to find out the following information:

It is perfectly harmless so leave it alone. the same applies to the redundant frontpage folder in XP. That is there for people who have created webpages with 9x and frontpage express. the files that have been created look for that folder to hold tempory information, while they are being changed.

So it's basically a semi-useless component part of Windows, or at least the placeholder for said component in a fresh install.

That will avail you nothing. Since it is protected by Windows System File Protection (SFC) the files and folder will be restored the next time you boot, as soon as the system detects they are missing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
