Not only does this save space on your computer, it also causes your projects to be re-indexed when you open them and thus can solve many, many mysterious misbehaviors, ranging from code completion not working to an inability to build for distribution. m.
Unless your projects are large, in which case a re-index can take hours, even all day on a slightly older Mac. In this case, there's no sense in deleting the data if it's not hurting anything. Just exclude it from being backed up.
