    I have been having this issue that appears to be solved by this tutorial, but I am skeptical to just go and delete a file that I know nothing about, especially when it is in the Users folder. Any help would be appreciated.

    Also, if I attempt to open the file using notepad, the following text is seen in the notepad:

    Can I delete this unknown file safely?

    Well then simply erase (Shift + Del) the $RECYCLE.BIN folder of that drive, I just find it odd that Windows doesn't pick up the drive's recycle bin when you connect it.
    And yes it's completely safe to delete the whole $RECYCLE.BIN folder, it wont affect any of the other files/folders on the drive, and whenever you delete (Del) another file it will be re-created.

    window.old files---safe to delete?

    No downside at all, in fact Windows will delete it automatically after 10 days anyway.

    If you want to do it immediately, let me suggest you use the built-in cleanup tool. Here's how:

    • Use the search box to find and open "Disk Cleanup"
    • When it opens, click "Clean Up System Files" button near the bottom
    • In the list, select "Previous Windows Installation"
    • Click OK to clean it up
