The items in C:SWSetup\Inetsec would not interfere with the new installation. If you want, you can even delete this folder.

thats what I was wondering, if I could safely delete the Inetsec folder

 

Now do you know if the Inetsec folder would contain Windows Security items, like the firewall, windows defender?

The SWSETUP folder is not a dependency folder. It is just created when installing any HP Driver or software updates. You can just delete it like any other folder. If you are experiencing problems in deleting it, please let me know the exact error message.
