    and see this path
    Code:
    C:\Recovery\OEM
    have 2 files in it
    Code:
    AfterImageApply_BDB0C1E8-6951-46C4-AB7F-C07B29F462FD

    Certainly you or your script didn't make them.
    These are completely common/default hidden Windows files and are in every computer.
    But at all another story is when you or anyone else can see or access them, even worse - can be freely deleted. By default, these are hidden and write -protected system files that no ordinary users should have access and even less the opportunity to delete them.
