Strange "IDE" folder on my D: drive

I've recently noticed that there is a folder Ididn't create on my D: drive. It's been there since I recently installed Windows 10 Pro on this machine.
On this path: D:\IDE\Common7\IDE\es\ there are 8 files named:

microsoft.visualstudio.vspsqlenum.resources.dll
microsoft.visualstudio.vspsmo.resources.dll
microsoft.visualstudio.vspesmoenum.resources.dll
microsoft.visualstudio.vspconnectioninfo.resources.dll
microsoft.visualstudio.vspservicebrokerenum.resources.dll
microsoft.visualstudio.vspgridcontrol.resources.dll
microsoft.visualstudio.vspregsvrenum.resources.dll
microsoft.visualstudio.vspwmienum.resources.dll

What are those files, and, can I delete them?

Those files are bundled with Visual Studio (Libraries not Bundleware) you can delete them. Unless you use Visual Studio
