Best Answer

The patch files that look like this:

WoW-*-to-*-enUS-downloader.exe

and

WoW-*-to-*-enUS-patch.exe

are safe to delete. Once the patches are applied there is not really any reason to keep them around, they just take up space.

However, make sure your WoW is running smoothly before you delete them because if you have to reinstall or repair, you might have to do a bunch of downloading, and some of those patches can me huge.

If you have access to a second hard drive or if you can burn those files onto a CD/DVD data disc, that would be best, not as much to re download.
