I agree with BisVal.
It may have been used as a temporary cache while an update or download was installed. Try opening the folder and if there's nothing in it just delete it if it's bothering you. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion Elite 495UK

I started with Windows 3.1 and never did live down the fact I deleted all the program icons from the desktop because it looked untidy!

These files in the root of the system drive are normally temporary files relating to updates to windows defender and the like. they should be deleted as part of the update process.
It should be OK to delete them but to be safe I would move them somewhere, (in documents?), and run for a day or so to make sure that nothing breaks | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
