There is a standard drop shadow filter that comes with all versions of Gimp. Your existing .xcf files will open with the latest version of Gimp.

Delete the folders...
dead_tree_brushes
Gimp Flying Birds (Gray Scale)...
GPS-Brushes

...and that gets you back to basic Gimp brushes.
but
GPS-Brushes comes from a package of 'enhancements' Gimp Paint Studio which contains a lot more than just brushes, comes to 325 files of various sorts apart from brushes.
Quote:.. Now that I know how it works I prefer to put any brush sets in their own directory under brushes. This makes it easy to delete a set that causes problems and keeps it orderly so I know what brushes are with which sets (there can be differences in license and attribution).
Keeping brush sets in their own directories is very wise. Just make sure you keep those in your Gimp profile C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8\brushes as shown in one of those earlier screenshots.
