The short answer
Usually, after a check. Might hold something you care about. Look inside before removing it.
What is it?
Games from Epic, GOG and Amazon installed through Heroic Games Launcher, stored in ~/Games/Heroic by default. Each takes from a few GB to over 100 GB.
Games installed by the Heroic launcher. They can be downloaded again.
What happens if you delete it?
Uninstalled games can be downloaded again from your store account through Heroic.
How to remove it properly
In Heroic, open the Library, open the game’s menu and choose Uninstall, so Heroic keeps its records up to date. Moving a game folder to the Trash by hand leaves Heroic thinking it is still installed.
From the app itself: Heroic > Library: game menu > Uninstall.
Before you delete it
The Prefixes subfolder holds game settings and saves, not game files: treat it separately.
How MoreRoom helps
MoreRoom recognises this item and labels it “Review first”: it shows what’s inside, its size and last use, so you can decide. Nothing is removed without your say, and everything goes to the Trash first, with Undo.
