Unwanted directories in root directory (Windows)

Explorer ,
Apr 21, 2019 Apr 21, 2019

My root directory has directories named "Use" + a Chinese character.  These contain a subdirectory called "Adobe", which contains a file called PhotoshopPrefsManager-20190115-193624.log (different number for each directory).

I have Photoshop CC and Lightroom Classic CC installed.

What are these directories, and can they be safely deleted?

Discussion successfully moved from Adobe Creative Cloud to Photoshop

What is the content of those logo files?
I would assume that logo files can be safely removed.
You did not say what versions of Photoshop and Lightroom you have installed and you did not mention your OS and version.

You can delete those files. They may be needed only when something goes wrong. I have, however, no idea about the Chinese character. May be you should through it into Google Translate. That tool is my best friend when checking foreign language texts.
