If you are certain that you'll Never need to uninstall a Microsoft update, then yes, the files are safe to delete.

Have you Googled these files to see what they are? I would do that first.

I would just delete them, and leave them in your recycle bin for a few days if you're woried.
Personally, I would just delete them. If trying to clean out your pc, look at www.ccleaner.com

IMO, you should keep the folders unless you're seriously low on disk space and can't afford a secondary hard drive, but you can safely delete the logs, because they have absolutely no value if you've been using your computer with no problems for a while after the updates were installed.
BTW, as EzyStvy implied, these are detritus from various Windows Updates. The folders are uninstall information, and the .log files just say what happened during the install.
