Windows 10: What is C:\ProgramData\Package Cache? Can it be deleted?

I need to free up some space on my hard drive, and I see that this folder is taking up 8GB. Every discussion that I've found says that it is related to Visual Studio, but I've never installed VS, so it can't be that. What is it? If contents are deleted and are later needed e.g., to repair or reinstall some software component, will they be automatically downloaded?

Now reboot, then delete the junk folder.

 

Deleting ProgramData files on C drive

Hello

I am wondering if I can delete ProgramData files on C drive so I can free up space and help my pc run faster. I went online and saw related articles but they didn't recommend to delete them. But in ProgramData folder, there are many subfolders of Softwares
that I had uninstalled before. So, can I delete subfolders of deleted softwares at least?
