I am alarmed at the amount of space on my Windows hard drive used by the $hf_mig$ folder. Can I safely delete this, please?

No, these are Windows updates and patches. You can, however, delete any folders that start with $NTUninstall. If you do, you will not be able to uninstall any updates that cause problems, but you're unlikely to want to uninstall anything that's more than a month old. You could also run CCleaner (ccleaner.com) to see if you can recover some wasted space. But if you have reached the stage where you're thinking about deleting hidden operating system files, it would be an even better idea to buy a new internal or external hard drive. You should always try to keep at least 1GB free on the C: drive.
