Don't know where it came from, but yes, it is ok to delete the mount point.

You can delete the old b15 stuff. There is no simple way to do this, although
if you are really brave you could play around with the "regtool" program that
DJ wrote. It allows you to add and delete registry keys. Typing "regtool"
on a line by itself should provide you with enough help to do this, but
be careful!
regedit is probably a little safer since it is graphical and you can see exactly
what you're deleting.
