Windows 10 create Mysteries file and folder

Perhaps you could have mentioned the folder name or the screenshot.

thx

 

Where is this file? is it on C? My users file is C:\Users\Dave. This is normal.

 

Press Windows key, and type Disk. If you are using different language it may be called something different. But you want disk cleanup. Disk Cleanup should appear at top. Right-click and run as administrator, and choose to clean up everything. Do this for C drive, and D drive. It may get rid of it, or may not, but it is worth a try.

 

It sounds like it could be Windows Update. I've seen files and folders with strange names in D: as well.

It's really annoying. I let Windows do whatever it wants with C:, but D: is where I want to set up my own folder structure and it can't leave that alone either.

 

Just upload it to a image site and type the address with a space or two so it's not a live link. If you ever need to do it again.

 

It looks like system restore files, right on one of them, and select properties post what it says.

 

did you turn system restore off, if you did it would empty restore=0 bytes, I believe that is what they were, and yes safe to delete

 

I have a few of those kinds of files too (though not the same names), and System Restore has never been turned on - it's disabled by default in a clean install of Win10. Or at least it was for me.

I just had to chuckle when I went to look at the pic the OP posted.
Seems TinyPic.com is routing something through DoublePimp ad network and PeerBlock blocked it.
