Hey guys, I'm trying to do some cleanup on my site. In my root directory, I have four files between 3 and 3.2GB. Does anyone have any ideas what these might be? I wasn't able to find out a clear answer. They were updated as frequently as yesterday.

They have strange names like ziZpZha9

Have you tried opening them and studying them? Saving to your computer then deleting them to see if any change, then if change is bad, re-upload them?

The "wireless" one appears to be a style sheet, is it? Do you have a mobile-enabled style that might use it?

yeah the wireless one i'm not worried about, it's the four 3GB files below it. They eat up a lot of space (12gb in total).

It's bizarre, it doesn't have a file type associated with it

i wonder if it's a remnant of a backup or something that failed.

I just wiped them, we'll see what happens.
