That's the Windows Error Reporting folder. You can safely remove all the files in there without having to worry, as they are files built up when problems occur in order to send information to Microsoft. If you want to not worry about it again, Follow these instructions: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754364.aspx

Nah. Just turn off error reporting and blow out the folder.
