STO in Downloads folder is 8 Gigs - do I need to keep that?

In my folder #user#/Downloads/ST.0.2... there is a folder identified only as "piggs" that holds over 8 Gig of .hogg files - are these used in the game? I'm trying to clear up space on my harddrive. Seeing as these are in my Download folder, I'm wondering if they are just temporary files.

If they aren't just temp's, why are they sitting in my Download folder?

Can anyone advise me on this?

    What directory did you assign STO to reside in?

    The default directory for the piggs folder is C:\Users\Public\Games\Cryptic Studios\Star Trek Online\Live for Windows Vista and 7 users.

    For Windows XP it is:

    C:\Program files\Cryptic Studios\Star Trek Online\Live

    If the folder has the .hogg files then it might be ok to delete the ones in your downloads directory. These files can always be replaced by the launcher.
