yea i have a hard time believing that this is a virus. its too organized(actually sequential), and i dont think its windows doing it(lack of hexadecimal naming), this is deffinately a chache. i bet he installed something to root D:\ that he should have put in a subfolder EDIT: i almost garauntee its his Maya install
Was just going to say, this is a standardized structure used by many programs that cache files for offline use in chunks, usually using folder and filenaming schemes revolving around hexadecimal. If you take a peek at the regular Spotify cache location in the picture below, this is the normal structure for it: You probably somehow set your D:\ drive as a storage location for Spotify or another app that uses a similar storage structure, or it may have set it automagically if you have low disk space on your C:\ drive.
I experienced a comparable issue where my computer generated a fresh folder each time it started. I initially overlooked it, accumulating numerous files over time. I never discovered a solution until I removed Windows and switched to Linux, which resolved the issue completely.
Verify if you altered the Spotify Offline files directory recently, since I did that and the same files appeared again. I checked to ensure it was my offline Spotify files when I attempted to remove them, but it was open elsewhere, and deletion succeeded after closing Spotify.
