XP System Restore question

After system restore is used the pc reboots. A system restore box opens at the desktop which says that the system has been restored ..etc. It then goes on to say that some folders where left (usually in the Programs Folders) but that these were renamed from abc to abc(2).

My question is, can I safely delete these renamed folders (as well as anything else that looks like a likely candidate..... << I know this last comment is tricky)

Many thanks for any light which you can shed on this matter
