Normally, yes. Usually they are files left from an install you ran on your computer and are not needed or used unless you were to do a reinstall. If you delete them, it would be prompted to put back in the original CD if you were to repair/reinstall one of the programs. Or you might have to redownload the install files if it was an Internet program before you could reinstall it.
If you want to be certain before deleteing, then rename the directory. This will cause Windows to "lose" the locations of all the files in the folder, and no longer be able to use them. If everything runs OK after the rename, it is safe to delete them.

You should be ok. Go ahead and delete them. After you do, there is a very small risk that your computer or something you were doing may stop working. Just reboot and you should be fine.
