SOLVED: Can C:\WINDOWS\LOGS\CBS Be Safely Deleted?

Mostly. The logs contained in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\ are diagnostic logs that can be used to repair your computer.

Earlier today however, we were working on a Windows Server 2008R2 and a 2012R2 server and found that both of them had about 40GB worth of CBS logs. That is not a good thing and so we deleted all of the CBS logs that were older than 1 month in age, which returned 39GB to drives free space.
