Hi,
My HA server is starting to run low on space, and I have these three large unknown files in my config folder. Does anyone know if these are safe to delete?
Thanks
There is an open issue regarding that on Github-
If you want to try, copy over the files in your local machine as a backup. Then remove the file and restart Home Assistant. If the system won’t boot properly, put the file back in place.
Keep in mind that it may/may not completely breaks your system. Be sure to have backup(snapshot) of your Home Assistant installation.
The odd names of these files are due to Window’s inability to handle long file names or due to some strange feature of samba. By using ssh and command line the real names of
H2VMNC~5
H4CSXB~9
H5E6VN~2
H11E9K~I
HAEWRF~8
HAW7LV~O
HCTY4M~5
HL1GON~C
are revealed. They are

The names pretty much tell us what they are. I suppose it is absolutely safe to delete them.
