They are the archived files you may need to remove
SP4, due to any problem. Yes, you can delete them,
but beware.

Hi

Do NOT delete this one, it is the folder that the OS fetches files from when
you install optional components. This is also the folder that the Windows File
Protection uses to obtain system files from when a rough installation has
degraded files in the dllcache folder.

Hi

No, the files in ServicePackFiles is not archived files (but files in a
%windir%\$NtServicePackUninstall$ folder is).

I would NOT remove them. They are for sfc when needed.
