Can I delete these files? I wanted to clear out my Mac and noticed all these files taking up a lot of my space. I did not want to touch them unless I knew what they were and got the green light. I used OmniDiskSweeper to uncover these files if anyone was wondering. Any directions on what to do?

Select it in the Browser and click the title bar to make it editable just like any other file or folder.
