Bill0000 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I have five huge files, each over one Gig, in my flash drive. No suffix (like .doc, .exe), just "FILE" with the name 3590F75ABA9E485486C100C1A9D4FF06PHQGHUMEAYLNLFDX with slight variations. I cannot open them with anything. Are these gobbledygook files left behind by CCleaner drive wiper? And if so, can I just erase them? Or should I leave them intact? My flash drive is almost full! Thanks for any help.

Moderators Andavari Posted February 1, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2020 Here's a search for the file name you posted:https://duckduckgo.com/?q=3590F75ABA9E485486C100C1A9D4FF06PHQGHUMEAYLNLFDX Possibly created by a program, possibly malware related, who knows. Personally I'd just delete them (or format the flash drive) and do a full virus scan of the whole computer and that flash drive. Edit: Do note that flash drives are susceptible to getting corruption on them, and if that happens weird looking file names can be left behind.
