Can I delete c:\Windows\assembly directory?

CCleaner for Windows

Hello,

Can I delete the c:\Windows\assembly directory without doing any damage to my system?

It takes up to 500mb on my HD

Apparently this is the .NET folder, whatever that is. A brief look at Google brings up the opinion that you should not delete this folder. Anyway, 500 mb is not too much these days (but on my XP system I only have 27 mb).
