Strange “IDE” folder on my D: drive

Multi tool use
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?
windows-10 user-folders
