Anyone use the program H2testW to test their memory cards?

I used the program H2testW to check my 18GB micro SD card in my Samsung S4 awhile back and it told me I had some corrupt files and fixed it all.

Everything is working fine but now I am migrating all the files over to a 32GB card. I noticed there is about 9 different .h2w files. According to the program these files are left and used by the program for verifying purposes.

I was wondering if it is safe to delete these files, or do they need to stay on this card? They total about 8GB's of space that could be used more wisely.

Anyone ever use this program and got rid of the files afterwards with no problem?
 
Fwiw, I haven't used the program, but I'd not bother to transfer those weirdly named files to to the new card. I can't see any way they are important to anything other than the program that created them. As long as you're satisfied that your important files have been restored then you shouldn't need those files ever again.

I don't know your backup routine, but this might be a good time to think about backups. As long as you're not needing the old sd card, why not keep it intact with entire contents including extra files as a backup. Might not be necessary, but if it's No extra work for you it won't hurt anything
