No.
That contains all of the files necessary to run Dropbox, identify what shared folders are and contains the index of your directories.
You can empty the directory (but you may find you end up loosing file downloads currently in progress and some quick restores etc) but do not delete it.

Then it currently just contains the databases and index. It will grow over time, and shrink while not used.
Do not delete, however.
