Have you googled it? There are sites which tell you what mysterious files are. They are legitimate file names- you could verify by comparing sizes with the official versions.
I googled briefly when your email appeared, and it looks like the software adobe uses for installing auto updates, with details of the installation in the payload folder. If your installation of LR is set to check periodically for updates (without necessarily auto-updating) then it may have downloaded them as part of the check. I would have thought it would do no harm to rename them, then run LR check for updates and see what happens. If you want to install any updates then you can do it with LR. I believe they are still issuing bug fixes for your version. B > On 20 Apr 2020, at 15:17, Stanley Halpin <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ask Adobe? Send them the folder?
