Files in root of Forum directory
 

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).

I don't have anything like those on my forum root, or even anywhere in my server. I'd save them to a file in the computer, then delete them off the server.

What extension are they?

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

You don't need them. Save them to a file in your computer, then delete them off your server, is my advice.

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

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