Hmm, it is safe to delete these files, perhaps. But I wonder about the trade-off b/w gaining a few megabytes of space v/s Windows performance. For example, the 'ReadyBoot' could contain info that is helping your Windows to boot a few seconds faster. 'Empty Prefetch' option now only handles 'appname-xxxxxxxx.pf' files inside '\Prefetch'.
