Mystery Microsoft files-Do I need all these files or can I delete the lot?

I have 3 files on my C drive, all named as a string of numbers, eg 6a34b3f7ad5039dc26e3c4. Within these folders there are a 25 folders numbered 1025, 1028, 1030 1031 etc plus a 'graphics' and 'client' folder. then there are all the other files inclusing .bmp for microsoft.NET and set up etc. Inside the numbered folders are 3 files, Eula.rtf (clealry Microsoft but all in Jananese), LocalizedData.xml and SetupResources.dll. 

Do I need all these files or can I delete the lot? I am guessing they are something to do with windows updates..

 

Thanks

These are usually leftovers from Windows Update and can be safely deleted after you restart your computer to ensure that they are not in use and/or staged for an update that will continue following a reboot.
