Windows 10: .lnk files

The OneDrive Support team have told me to delete the following .lnk files as they are preventing a full sync. But they've also expressed caution:"Some applications may depend on these links to function properly. Remove only the links that you know are safe to modify".



I haven't a clue which are 'safe to modify'- can you help please?
