    That's a lot of data.
    Before deleting it, you might want know what's in it.

    My first guess is a backup (File History on?)

    I like to use Linux Mint in situations such as this:
    Download - Linux Mint
    I use the Mate edition, but other folks like Cinnamon

    Boot to the Linux thumbdrive
    take a peek at what 's in the folder

    Then it's your decision to leave it alone or remove it.
    I'd leave it alone until I knew exactly what is is and why it's there.

    You probably already figured this this out, but you can delete files and folders from Linux as well.
