I have just migrated from HP 750-114 to HP TE01-1020 desktop Envy (Windows 20H2). I have just noticed in the Folder pane, under Windows (C), these folders that I don't think I have ever seen before and would like to know if I can delete and/or bring to the D drive (HD):
$WinREAgent...contains Scratch which is empty
hp.....contains BIN bridge, HPQWare, McAfeeRules (not using McAfee), Network_Driver, support
hpwsetup...contains sp112674 and sp114208
Intel....is empty
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello
this is an HP folder
it can be useful when using the hp recovery software, in order to reinstall certain software, drivers!
It can have another use I am not 100% sure
If it takes up too much space, you can possibly move it to the data drive, if you have it, but don't delete it!
in any case it has nothing to do with microsoft

@flycaster1 -- which is empty
Be careful. The folder may contain "hidden" files/folders.
Right-mouse-button click on the name of the folder, to get the size of the contents of the folder. Probably only a few hundred megabytes. Compare to the amount of free-space on your disk-drive.
Not being an "insider" that works for Microsoft, who really knows what is in those folders, and when the contents are required, I would "let sleeping dogs lie", and not touch those folders.
