Hi everyone, I received these two folders on my second HDD today. I’m not sure what they are or how they got there. Did anyone know about this? I believe it happened after a Windows update, though I’m not certain. The file in 92fd is empty and seems to be an installer. Can I just delete them? Any advice would be really helpful! Thanks!

These are temporary files generated during Windows updates, meaning they’re safe to ignore.

Thank you for your prompt reply! Also, are you referring to the 92fd8... or just the msdownld.tmp file?

Usually I don't worry about it. They tend to vanish after a few more restarts in most situations.
