Strange “IDE” folder on my D: drive





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I've recently noticed that there is a folder Ididn't create on my D: drive. It's been there since I recently installed Windows 10 Pro on this machine.

On this path: D:IDECommon7IDEes there are 8 files named:



microsoft.visualstudio.vspsqlenum.resources.dll
microsoft.visualstudio.vspsmo.resources.dll
microsoft.visualstudio.vspesmoenum.resources.dll
microsoft.visualstudio.vspconnectioninfo.resources.dll
microsoft.visualstudio.vspservicebrokerenum.resources.dll
microsoft.visualstudio.vspgridcontrol.resources.dll
microsoft.visualstudio.vspregsvrenum.resources.dll
microsoft.visualstudio.vspwmienum.resources.dll


What are those files, and, can I delete them?
