This is commonly known as the Calibre Configuration directory, it contains all the global Preference settings. Its location can be set via the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY Environment Variable. You don't want to lose this - include it in your data backup regime.


D:\Users\SysopChris\AppData\Local\calibre-cache

This is commonly known as the Calibre Cache directory, it's used to stash stuff to improve performance (images, recent books etc). Its location can be set via the CALIBRE_CACHE_DIRECTORY Environment Variable. It will be created as needed, so no need to backup

D:\Users\SysopChris\AppData\Local\calibre-ebook.com
D:\Users\SysopChris\AppData\Local\calibre-parallel

Those two seem to have something to do with the Qt webengine component used by the Viewer, Editor etc. You probably have a D:\Users\SysopChris\AppData\Local\cache directory too, it also seems to be Qt related (google "qt shader cache").

These can probably be deleted, and let QT create them as it needs them.
