Hi Cory,

Not only leave it alone, but make a backup up of it. You
will need these drivers if you ever have to wipe and reinstall.
Put your backup of this directory in storage next to your ISO of
your OS.

If you want to get rid of anything, get rid of Bing.

I've just done a search with Everything (of my W7 machine), and I've
only got 34 files/folders with bing in the name, ranging from 1 to 7 KB
in size - most of them icons. While I don't particularly want them
there, I can't see they're causing much of a problem - there certainly
isn't a root folder.
