Anybody knows why I have MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS and SQLTELEMETRY$SQLEXPRESS folders in location C:WindowsUsers
after installing SQL Server 17.9?
Is it a problem to delete both of them?

They're be part of the service accounts set up. Why do you want to delete them though? They can't be taking up a lot of storage space, probably an MB or 2 at most.

I am feel disturbed with the location, both of them in C:Users folder. Is it normal and other people have both folder in C:Users? I think it should be in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server.

"disturbed"? I don't think it really caused you any emotional or mental problems. As I said they are linked to Service accounts. Service Accounts are users; where else would you therefore expect user related information to be stored other than in the Users directory?

I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean by that. It won't have effected the files in your user directory, it made different directories; as you have stated.
