Files in my Trash

[Kath nr the Crooked Spire]

I was surprised to find 13 little blue folders labelled 'Recovered Files' in my trash. I've opened a few and they seem to relate to Safari browser which I don't use. Can I delete or do they need to go back where they came from.

Thanks

I would have thought if they are in your trash you can delete them ,have you viewed what they contain ?

I dont know the answer but maybe even though you dont use the Safari browser it is still loading on startup. The 2 links below might give you more info. They both relate to Macs.

Thank you I will look at the links, it's a mystery how they got in there. I tried the safari browser and it still works.
