The short answer
No. Your data. Shrink it from its app; don’t delete the folder.
What is it?
A CrossOver bottle is a self-contained Windows environment with the Windows apps or games you installed, their settings and often their saves. Bottles live in ~/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles; game bottles commonly take tens of GB.
Windows environments with installed apps, settings and game saves. Export or offload before removing one.
What happens if you delete it?
A deleted bottle is not recreated: you would need to reinstall the software inside it, and documents or saves stored in it are lost.
How to remove it properly
CrossOver cannot remove a single app from a bottle, so you delete the whole bottle from CrossOver: right-click it in the sidebar, choose Delete Bottle and confirm. To keep a copy, archive the bottle first with CrossOver’s archive feature.
From the app itself: CrossOver: select the bottle, then Bottle > Export or Delete Bottle.
Before you delete it
Check the bottle’s drive_c/users folder for documents and saves before deleting it.
How MoreRoom helps
MoreRoom recognises this as your data and never suggests deleting it. It shows how much space it takes, so you can shrink it from its own app.
