    Welcome to the Seven Forums.

    The folder is left over from the installation of a Windows Update. The numbered folders that you are looking at contain info for different languages. The file permissions are set to keep you (and infections) out of the folder. The update was poorly written. It should have cleaned up after itself. There are several updates that leave this kind of a mess behind.

    See this post for more info on how to get rid of the folder (and a video - if you are so inclined).
    Unnecessary files creating in External HDD

    You can use the "take ownership" method linked to in the post mentioned above or you can use unlocker. See this post for info on unlocker:
