Drwtsn and drwtsn32 are part of Mircosoft windows debugging system and gerenally should be left alone unless they are suspected of causing you problems.
The real question should be why do you want to remove them?  They're small in size, so perhaps you are getting errors related to them?
Certain viruses or malware masquerade as drwtsn/32 so it's important if you're having problems to cover those bases first.  If you still want to remove them my suggestion would be to prevent them from running -> from RUN dialogue, type drwtsn32.exe and press OK.  Clear all the checkboxes and press ok.  this will stop the utility from running.
Simply deleting them is not recommended as it may lead to system instability especially in the case of an application crash.
Hope that helps.
