    Welcome to WindowsBBS :)

    These are most likely update folders from Windows Update or similar - as they are empty why fret?

    Yoiu probably need elevated admin status to delete ....

    Try deleting from an elevated Command Prompt ....

    Orb > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt - right click - Run as Administrator.

    If you can't delete them from normal login give it a try in safe mode. If everything fails download & install Move on boot. This would enable you to delete locked files/folders.
