The drivers don't run from there. You could re-install the drivers from those folders, if you needed to, but they are not necessary. The installed copies are somewhere in C:\windows.

The drivers are mostly installed in C:\windows\system32. The folders shown under C:\dell... are just the extracted copy of the .exe downloaded from dell and used to install the drivers, they are not being used by Windows.

Yes, you can safely delete this. The drivers unpack here, and then install. This is not actually the drivers themselves.

Wenda.
