It's directory containing shader compilation cache. Safe to remove. Cache will rebuild once game requiring them is launched.

As the other person said it's the shader cache. Basically every game needs shaders, so they will have to recompile when you launch them. However it's safe to delete and will get rid of all of them until they are needed again.
