Random, 4-letter named files in folders

Question

I keep finding strange, 4-letter named files in some folders with Illustrator and Photoshop images saved. I've searched the webs and cannot find any answers. Does anyone know what these files are and why they are created? Is it safe to delete them?

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
