    No, this is the "remnant" from update process. You can safely ignore it. If you really want to remove this folder, then you should do it with SYSTEM rights. I do tasks like this one with the help of task scheduler that starts windows explorer in interactive mode with system rights. Do it after restart to be sure that no process is "holding" the "magic" folder.

    inspect your WindowsUpdate.log file for errors too.
