Blue text is compressed files.

and the KB828035 is a microsoft knowledge base article so you can look up what that file contains.

Its a windows update uninstall folder.

There's nothing unusual about that folder. It just means you've been good and been doing your updates. Its there in case you should want to uninstall that particular update. That folder is safe to delete, as long as the update didn't hose the system.
