Hey guys,

I was just browsing through my E: drive that i use for family pics and other stuff and i have noticed that there a are a lot of files that i dont know how they got there.

Looking at these files they seem to be microsoft files so i assume Windows has installed them there in an update?, i have also done a Eset nod scan and Malware bytes scan that came up clean just to be sure.

I have attached a screenshot and highlighted all the new files, can anyone tell me if it is safe for me to delete them? as i don't want to mess anything up in my OS

I'm using Windows 10 64bit

Thanks guys pic below

Had the same thing appear for me as well, except it was on my C drive, and it was due to this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/927665

And then I remembered I installed something that required Visual C++ Redistributable Package to be installed. Everything except msdia80.dll should be safe to remove.

Awesome, thanks Orcvader i'll delete all apart from the msdia80.dll
must have been an old game i installed.

Thanks again
