Removing or leaving shared files?

I have uninstalled Photoshop 7 tryout program. During the
uninstallation process, I've been prompted about leaving or removing
some shared files. I chosen to leave them, not remove. I will reinstall
full program later, probably. Should I remove this files before program
reinstallation, or leave it as is?

Unable to delete folder 'C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Adobe\Color\Profiles\Recommended'.
Unable to delete folder 'C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Adobe\Fonts\Reqrd\Base\pfm'.
Unable to delete folder 'C:\Program Files\Common

If unsure, move them to a different folder, then wait a week
or two. If all is well, delete them permanently.

It's your call if you want to play it safe or not. The new installation
will, of course, create a completely new set of files. It does not
"know" about any files you may have parked elsewhere.

its strange, however. Usually, the new installation of same program
goes in same place. I can remove folders definitely related to
Photoshop7, but not sure for folders that is inside "Common Files"
since dont know which from Adobe programs use it - Adobe Reader or it
was Adobe Photoshop..
