Is the dyld Folder Still Needed

I have a dyld folder in my Mac System/Library folder.


I am running Big Sur and have transferred from Macs for generations.


I am trying to pare down my hard drive from large folders to make room. This takes up 4.0 GB. Do I still need it?

Yes, this folder is still needed. They contain system-shared cache files that assist in starting up your Mac. If your goal is to increase storage space on your Mac's drive, this would not be a good place to start.
