Windows 10: is it a good or bad thing to delete the 'compress your os device' files in the clean disk...

Just as stated in the subject/question, is it a good or bad thing to delete the 'compress your os device' files in the clean disk space. It holds 35 GB and I need some extra storage for other apps and documents, so I was wondering if I should delete those files or not, in case it might damage my pc.
