Please copy or backup them to an external USB drive before delete them. Deleting them won't help you much and you WILL get to problem running out of specs again because your machine has only a tiny drive for storage.
Hope this makes sense.
Regards.

ok thanks do you know what they are both for? I've heard that the swsetup one was for driver installers but wasn't sure about the hpswsetup. can I delete without backing them up as i can just re download drivers if needed in the future.
