Odd Folder on C: Drive

I have an odd folder with a very long name on my C: drive.

Name of folder: 064088153b474ba83213338878249a

Properties shows 0 bytes in two subfolders which are named AMD64 and i386.

Access is denied and I can't even look inside the subfolders.  The subfolders are 
Read Only and I cannot change that attribute.

The two subfolders are dated 2/04/2009 11:00 PM.

Do I need this folder?  If not, how can I get rid of it?

I booted Knoppix Linux and it shows each subfolder as having 7 files - dll and inf 
files as I recall.

Knoppix Konqueror was unable to delete the main folder.  It complained about a dll 
file.  Maybe I should have tried a Terminal Window and logged in as Super User.

Thanks, Kent
