Only if you think there's something in there you might want back.  I've had 
several things moved into those areas that I knew were false positives and I 
had to go back in and tell the app to release them, then disable the app and 
compress the marked files so they wouldn't be removed again.  I don't 
recommend this approach to anyone who doesn't know how to positively tell a 
false positive from a true threat, but it's still possible to do.

If you remove everything other than the quarantine folder, the new install 
will most likely not know what those files used to be.  So the time to 
un-quarantine them would be before the full uninstall.

Peace,
Gman
