If you have split your HDD after installing Windows, you shouldn't delete them... well, you shouldn't delete them anyway. Those are quite important files

Splitting your HDD before installing Windows will do the trick. Windows' files will then only be on the partition you install them.

// EDIT:
You wanted to know what'd happen if you deleted them? Windows wouldn't work anymore
