Those files are the MSOCache folder which allow you to install updates for
Office 2003 without the CD. See:

MSOcache

Local Installed Resources:

If you delete this folder, you will need your installation CD when you
install updates. If you need the hard drive space, best to add drive space.
Microsoft provides {see above} a utility to move the MSOCache folder to a
different drive.



You can delete them if you want.
