Is it safe to delete the Isolated Storage folders?

Isolated storage is used to provide per machine, per user or per app storage. It's probably not a good idea to delete it as some app is probably using it to store information.

    I've found a lot of files in this folder:

    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\assembly

    These files seem to be used for Isolated Storage. Are they safe to delete?

    If so, how do I delete them? I do not have permission to do so (even when logged in as administrator).

      does anyone know how to find out which app is creating the IsolatedStorage? digging into mine, I noticed the file is vsls - which seems to refer to vscode live share

    haha I think the counter argument would be 'why do programs add so much crap'
