You can't delete it because it's normal to be there.

Find something else to obsess about.

Those are normally there..
If you don't want to see them, then go back to "hide protected operating
system files".
Organize - Folder and Search options
View - [ x ] hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
OK

Leave them alone. They contain your deleted items and
your system restore information (among other things).

The OS usually has these hidden so as to protect you
from yourself. )
