Chiming in with my own experience.

If you are working on something that is very much location dependent (for example, OpenGL which has lot of hard coded linking and library including), then, the answer is.

No. You should not delete.

If it is not like the OpenGL situation, then,

Yes, you can delete it. visual studio will simply recreate that folder for you.

also, if I remember correctly, .vs is part of the standard .gitignore file for visual studio projects. that also hints that you can happily delete things (except for stuff like OpenGL)
