Can I move the ADK Windows Kits files?

As an "old dog" moving to newer versions of Paragon Backup I'm now creating USB stick Recovery Media using the recommended "Use ADK" method. As per the instructions I installed ADK for Windows 10 (1903) and Windows PE add-on for ADK (1903) and the Recovery Media Builder then proceeded to create a UEFI bootable USB stick that works perfectly.

MY QUESTION: The ADK installs required almost 7GB space on my 256GB "OS+Apps" SSD drive. As a test I copied the Windows Kits folder+contents to a 2TB internal drive and then uninstalled the two ADK's to recover that 7GB of space on the SSD. I ran the Recovery Media Builder, pointed it to the new Windows Kits location, and it successfully built the UEFI bootable USB stick.

So ..... Is it OK to do what I did?

It results in a smaller size backup of my SSD "OS+Apps" (C) by relocating the files to the 2TB internal (D) drive.

Thanks to anyone who might have some time to share the answer :-)

You can remove the WinPE and ADK if you have already created Recovery Media -- you may no longer need it.
