Is it safe to delete/exclude “inspector” folder from Electron 5 package?

See original GitHub issue

Version: 20.39.0
Target: 32-bit Windows

I’ve recently updated Electron from v4 to v5 and found a new ~9MB folder inspector containing 188 files in the installed Electron package at node_modules/electron/dist/resources/inspector or ${packagedApp}/resources/inspector after packaging with electron-builder. What is this for?

There seems to be no consequences for deleting this folder.

Is it safe to delete/exclude it from my packaged app?

Package used: electron@5.0.6 for 32-bit Windows

Thanks in advance!
