The short answer
Usually, after a check. Might hold something you care about. Look inside before removing it.
What is it?
~/Library/Application Support/Epic/EpicGamesLauncher holds the Epic Games Launcher’s own data: configuration, logs, cached web content and records of what it has installed. Typically a few hundred MB to a few GB.
The launcher's own data and web cache. It downloads what it needs again after signing in.
What happens if you delete it?
The launcher recreates its data after you sign in again. It may need to re-detect or verify installed games and engines.
How to remove it properly
Quit the launcher first. For display or loading problems, Epic recommends clearing the web cache at ~/Library/Caches/com.epicgames.EpicGamesLauncher. Remove this folder only if you accept signing in again and re-locating your installs.
From the app itself: Quit the Epic Games Launcher, then clear its web cache from its settings, or sign out to reset it.
Before you delete it
If the launcher forgets installed games or engines, use its install or verify option to point it back to them instead of downloading everything again.
