Default MSOCache folder?

I just reformatted my HD, installed XP Pro and Office
2003. Then noticed a folder named MSOCache. Because it
uses the word "cache" in it, I'm wondering if it was a
temporary folder used when I installed Office. Am I
close? Is it necessary? Can it be safely deleted?

Just wondering...

Thanks in advance.

Jerry,
For future updates to Office, this folder is best left intact on your system.

Hi Jerry,

This article has additional information that may be helpful to you.
The MSOCache (MS Office Cache) folder is a part of the Local
Installation Source (LIS) feature, new in Office 2003.
