    Hello, this is Emily.

    It is not a native Windows one. It should be from third party app. You can click into that folder and see if it gives you a clue what app it can be from. You can also go to your Settings > Apps > Installed apps, to see if you have anything installed from Sentry. Windows will work fine if you want to delete this folder, but if this is an app you want to continue using, you would lose app data.

    Did you install the Arc Browser? I have this folder in appdata/local as well and I installed the Arc Browser at the same time it was created.

    This page says they use a third party tool called Sentry for collecting analytics data from crashes and other bugs in the application: https://arc.net/security
