Files in the Common Files folder are files that may be shared by multiple applications, that are not considered to be "system" files.

Deleting shared files can cause applications to stop working.

Some uninstallers do not remove the shared files that were installed for the program.
So, there "may" be files in the common files folder that are no longer needed.
