What are these files?

[Crunken]

Hey

So was just going trough my harddrive and saw all these files here, i think it's from when i installed gears of war 4 on my harddrive and forgot to install it into a folder but not sure it's that, are they safe to delete? or is it something important (it's not on my os drive and no other program is installed on this place of the harddrive)

Thanks

the red squares are just personal files i blocked with super fancy snipping tool pen :^)

I don't think they're system files so go ahead. You can always restore the Recycling Bin files back isn't it?

Looks like some residual game files. You could try running install.exe and see if it gives an uninstall option, otherwise just delete them.

when i open it's a installer/uninstaller for microsoft visual C++ so i guess that's what all the files are (opened the .txt files and says C++ there aswell) but why is it installed there and do i need them?

EULA stands for End User License Agreement, and the install.res are dynamic files. They are more than likely leftovers from game installation

They belong to the Microsoft Visual C Runtime Redistributables, you can delete them perfectly safely.

 

Gears of War is stored in the folder called WpSystem btw.

Are they used for anything though?

Yes, to install the Visual C Runtime Libraries, don't worry about it at all. They're freely available from the internet anyway.

Games often bundle a version of Visual C++ and such to save you the hassle.
