Can I delete keys in MachineKeys folder?

C

Cirene

Can I delete the keys in my C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys folder? I'm not sure what these do.

Why do I want to do this?

My system freezes up 80% of reboots. I looked in the Event Viewer and it
looks like it's related to the SSL Server credential private key.

SOURCE: Schannel
Type: Error

A fatal error occurred when attempting to access the SSL server credential
private key. The error code returned from the cryptographic module is
0x80090016.
