I have two folders that mysteriously showed up on my Windows 7 PC. They were not there a few weeks ago but they are there now.


These folders are named $Windows.~WS and $WINDOWS.~BT and both contain files relating to something called "Panther"


Googling the names of these folders reveals that these files are related to Windows 10! Except I have Windows 7 and Windows 10 has never been on this computer ever, and definitely not in the last few weeks!


There is nothing regarding these folders on a Windows 7 machine, literally every result pertains to Windows 10, NOT Windows 7!


What should I do with these?
