Before you do anything more scan it with a few antivirus programs.

Just scanned it, no virus. I have had it for a while so I wasn't worried about that, I just thought about it now that I should ask about it on here.

Some more background on the file: Within the file there are 3 folders "AppFS Storage", "Icon Cache", and "OSD Cache", as well as an FSD and FSG files (whatever those are idk).

If you're sure you don't need the folder, Unlocker (Freeware) should delete it correctly.

It's a Microsoft program. Something about Microsoft Application Virtualization. I don't know what it does.

SoftGrid is Microsoft software, so it's not dangerous or malicious. In light of this, unless you have a specific reason to delete it, I suggest leaving it as you don't know what effect removing it will have- that's probably why Windows doesn't let you.
