I purge mine occasionally. I read somewhere if you ever do a system recovery it uses those files to restore all your old updates, otherwise you have to download them all again. That's the only reason I know of for keeping them. You can burn them to CD if you want to get them off your system, then you'll have 'em if you need 'em.
