Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is generally temporary browser data, not a core system component. Removing cache files is usually low risk, but it can sign you out of some sites less often than cookie removal would, force websites to reload content, and may temporarily slow browsing until the cache is rebuilt. It is safest to quit Microsoft Edge before modifying files in this folder.
Recommendation: You can usually remove this folder's contents if you need to clear browser cache or recover space, but keep it if you want to preserve normal browsing performance and avoid re-downloading website assets. If Edge is in active use, close it first and expect the cache to be recreated automatically.
