A folder called "4KSDR240FPS" takes up more than 40 GB on my mac's storage after installing Mac OS sonoma. Is it safe to delete? (sh.itjust.works)

After installing Mac OS sonoma for a few weeks my mac quickly ran out of storage. I did a scan using cleanmymac and found this huge folder in /Library/Application Support/com.apple.idleassetsd/Customer/:

I opened the folder and found it full of high-quality landscape videos, which is probably used for screen savers. Would anything go wrong if I delete everything in the folder and use the old screen saver?

Update: I deleted the files, nothing broke, but the computer keeps downloading it back. What should I do? (I already changed wallpapers and screen savers on all accounts to something else)
