weird folders after download

[Deleted member 786508]

hello,

I have these weird empty folders after downloading games, they only have short names. I most often use mega download.
Does anyone know what these are for?

edit: I use windows 7

Out of curiosity: Are you using Spotify on that machine?

iirc mega.nz creates temp folders in appdata when files are downloading. they should be deleted after, but when downloads fail, or your system locks up during a download the folders might get left behind. If it happens often, you could have gigs of temp files that need to be cleaned up.

The thing is: I googled "random 2 digit folders appeared" (your problem was new to me, so I was curious) and every specific solution I found ended up in Spotify being the culprit.
For example:

Anyway I opened some of the files in the two digit directories and amidst some of the weird characters that it seemed to mention songs from a spotify. I want in to spotify and changed the directory where it is saving files to another directory and sure enough the fault is with spotify. I have not managed to sort it but now it is busy creating directories in a sub-directory, making delete easier, rather than contaminating my main documents directory.

So I suggest you to at least have a look into the Spotify settings to see if it helps.
