Weird File Folder Found on Local Disk 😕

Hey everybody!

So I’ve been cleaning up my PC for a few days trying to get rid of old stuff and just get more efficient. So I went to have a look at Local Disk to see if there were any old programs I forgot about, and I found this weird file folder named 60fabdad2f866e1f28. Kinda freaked me out.

It’s an empty folder, and when I tried to delete it I was told that I need “permission from the SYSTEM”, but when I went to the system, I couldn’t find it anywhere.

The folder is empty, but who knows?

Any ideas what the hell this is?? Is it malicious or just some benign system folder??

Thanks in advance.
