Can these folders be removed?

[celticpride678]

They are located on my desktop and seem to be Windows files. However, they are invisible. How can I make them visible to remove (if needed)? Also, can they be removed, is it safe? Thanks.

I think there are programs that do it but you can also just use the terminal...here is the link

EDIT: I don't know if they are safe to remove though.

Thanks for that. They are now visible, I just don't know if I should remove it or not.

Well, maybe move them to a different folder and try loading windows if that doesn't work then move the files back. That is a good way to check if Windows needs them.

Well, I removed all of my Windows VM's and Boot Camp partition. So, they should already be gone, which is why I am wondering.

Well then I would go ahead and remove them, but cross your fingers. I am 99% sure they are good to remove.

then if they are windows files, just delete them since you got rid of the Windows VM/BC Part....

My question is, if they are Windows files or not. If I knew they were, I would have removed them right away. So, are they?

Recycle bin I think is, but I'm not a hundred percent sure on the other one.

Scratch that...just checked they are both windows files...good to delete
