I am in the process of cleaning up my drives and have noticed several files
with numbers and letters that I can not access, such as 007D8200-8C388C38,
they also have a backup copy in the same folder. I have searched the web to
no avail, does anyone have a clue as to what these are or how I can open
them and can I delete them without repercussions?
