If you want to delete it you can, it's just a temp file windows makes if you look at thumbnails of pictures, you must have some pictures in that folder etc.
If you delete and look at the pics again it will recreate it. Or you can just leave it and it will do no harm.
Good Luck,

If it is a shortcut icon, then deleting the icon will not delete the file. You should look at the properties to see when the file was created, last used, and which program(s) use it. If it is something you did not create or use, then you should be able to delete it. If the file resides in the root files or as part of your registry, then you should do more research before deleting it.

You have to watch what you delete cause some files are part of other files and can mess up the other file
