Looks like it was from when the laptop was manufactured. Don't see anything important. BUT not really sure if I can delete it.

    @ MaClane,
    The OP means the oem oem folder in c: drive, not the recovery partition on the drove.

    @Ken1943,
    leave it on the drive. it does not occupy much space.

    Good evening ken1943 !

    The recovery partition is created by Acer and is hidden from your HDD.
    It has the necessary files to reinstall your OEM system if necessary.
    Without it you will lose access to the restore and if you need to send the equipment to Acer and pay the amount of reinstallation.
