Q: HELP!!!!! Mac HD > lost+found Folder

Recently when looking in my Mac HD i found a folder called "lost+found". I looked around on the internet to find out what it is because it only recently appeared. I'm still not 100% sure what it is and if I can delete it. There is nothing in it just empty folders (e.g. "6477455"). I have recently run Disk Utility from my Mac OS X bootup disk and done a Disk Verify (this came up with some missing directories and some other errors) so i then ran First Aid and a Disk Repair, it apparently fixed it and when ever i run the disk verify now it comes up saying the disk is OK.
The lost+found folder says it was created on the same day as i ran the disk repair!
All i want to know is if my Drive is okay and also what this folder is, and lastly can i delete it.

Thanks in Advance

White MacBook (2007), Mac OS X (10.6.2), Updating to 10.6.3 today.
