Those are temporary files. Delete them.

Hello Yorkshire Lass,

If it is listed in Disc Cleanup, then the file is over a week old
unmodified and safe to delete. There is nothing you need to do to check
for this.

I would double check with this tutorial below to make sure that it is
safe for you to delete the system archived error reports. If these files
are large GB sizes, then it could destroy you Vista installation if you
deleted them.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
