Hi pirx,
Yes the System/Retention and System/CheckpointRemoval are safe to remove, if it helps I was recently impacted by this also for 2 customers so I have written a PS script that cleans up logs older than 90 days for the 2 below folders. It is designed to be run by itself or by a RMM tool, feel free to use it I am hoping it helps you or others also.

I will also be adding more log locations to it shortly, Once I confirm with support those locations are safe to cleanup.
