Snap shot of my SSD, trying to clear some space. Does anyone know what those long string file folders are for or if I can safely get rid of them?

Those files are temp files usually from installers/updates for windows..
They are harmless, if you notice the names are actually hexidecimal, a-f and 0-9.

Lol at everyone who didn't know what they were.
@op you can just delete em or leave em.

Opening them and looking inside would probably help. I would guess they might have to do with major Win 10 updates...but I'm just guessing, because they all have 2016-2017 dates.

They could be a lot of things though. It's not like we could even google the folder names, they are probably different from Win 10 install to Win 10 install.



/e After you new pic...yeah they look like updates.





/e Do you miss Windows 7 yet? :)

Yoiur C: drive looks so clean because you don't have the Options set to SHOW everything.
