Android Question

My phone is almost at storage capacity so I need to remove some things! One thing I noticed is a folder called "Appsponsors." It has 3 files in it totaling 10.1Mb. Not huge, in the grand scheme, but not small either! The files have no extension so I can't tell what type of files they are. The file names are gibberish so they offer no clue. Can I delete these files without harming anything?
 
Sounds very much like a cache for some ad supported game or app. You can probably delete it quite safely, it certainly doesn't sound critical or important, but whatever adware game or app put it there will likely re-create the folder and fill it again, when you run it.

You're not meant to read the files, that's why they appear as gibberish, whatever created them opens them when it downloads and shows you ads. :thumbsupdroid:
