Thanks,
you need to look through it to see where the 2.5Gb is and be sure that what is in there is OK to delete. Then dont delete the top level folder just get rid of anything inside it that is not required. You can use something like "Treesizefree" to get a better idea of the structure and size of the files/folders inside it.
Check the Antivirus products files in that location. Some AV products download all updates to the All Users folders and dont delete them.
What AV do you use on that server?

I would not delete the All Users profile completely from the machine.
