Hello,

Because its grown quite large and I wanted to free some disk space. OS is 98 SE.

It is used to store a copy of the Windows CD files.
so that you can install and/or change your configuration
without having to (search for) and mount
the Windows CD in the CD-ROM drive.

The folder is quite often called Windows\Options\Cabs instead.

If you have the CD, you can delete it.
