Yes you can delete them but after they are deleted it will take
about 4 or 5 reboots for the PC to be fully up to speed,
you may notice that the first few reboots will be slower than usual.
After each reboot run and exit the applications you normally
use and then reboot again and repeat the process of running
common applications.

I've got into the habit of using AgentRansack , which will show
