What instructions are you following? The only MLS-related root folder I'm aware of is c:\data-backup. I don't think wiping out your backups is a good idea.
Have you searched the Help Center? Try doing a Google search and adding "site:churchofjesuschrist.org/help" to the search criteria.

It's under C:\Program Files (x86)\LDS Church\MLS (64-bit machine) or
C:\Program Files\LDS Church\MLS (32-bit machine).
Actually, it's OK to blow away the LDS Church folder and everything that's under it. Make sure you do a backup before you blow anything away. You'll need it to restore your data. After you download and reinstall MLS, you'll have to call SLC and ask them to clear the security token so you can do "Send/Receive Changes".
I don't let the ward clerks in my stake store backups in C:\data-backup. I tell them to use an external USB flash drive.
