The following file showed up in C:/
fe571954febc88fa60f7f8f000e90a
with two subfolders: AMD64 and i386.

Any idea what these are? Can they be safely deleted?


Are they causing you a problem? Are you running out of hard drive
space?

Since you can only answer a question with a question, I assume then that
you don't know the answer so you're wasting time instead.

I'd expect an MVP to know the answer to those questions and to quickly
advise the OP not to delete them. They are important system file storage
locations which may get used at the odd time something goes wrong in the
operating sysem. In fact there may be more than one i386 folder, don't
know about the other one; sounds like a vendor specific thing.
