    Hello EstherEmily,

    I am Jaspreet Singh.

    You can safely delete those files they are not system files and can be deleted without affecting the system.

    Please have a look at this link/article by Microsoft for a better understanding of how the profile changes are stored : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versi...

    Please check the last sentence saying :

    Quote : Users can delete the user portion of their user mode console files by executing Disk Cleanup through the MMC 2.0 File+Options menu.

    The main files that are system generated and required cannot be deleted. The ones in the disk cleanup are safe to delete though they are too small in size (511 kb) you won't even notice any difference so I would recommend leaving them as it is.
