I see that there are files that are posted in G drive and not sure what it is? I was planning to move them to my USB flash drive but have a second thought to ask first here before I make a mess out of this. Anyway here is below:

boot
efi
efiboot
grldr
grub2cd.bin
menu.lst
qimage


That is my question about moving those files to my USB flash drive. Or can I put these files in folder that I will create and move them into the folder in G drive. If possible to move and what will I name the folder for those files in USB flash drive.

By the way my operating system is Windows 10 Professional 64-bit version and the latest is 20H2 and the OS build is 19042.630.

Thank you,

John

They look like something leftover from playing with Linux.

Should I delete them or leave as is in G drive. Now I remember that I restore Windows 10 through Macrium Reflect about a week ago. Because the operating system of Windows 10 Professional had a problem and did not work properly so I decided to restore from my latest backup in Macrium Reflect. I do my backup every Sunday for Windows 10 64-bit version.

Let me know about this.

Thank you again,

John

Grub is a Linux boot loader. I would imagine that the files are a left over from your Macrium image restore. I would say to just delete but let's see if dvair agrees.

I would move them first before deleting. Just in case you find they are needed for something.

OK and thank you to you both for this and that would be wise to move them then delete them.

Thank you again,

John
