Help what are these folders?

I was going though my files and I noticed a few folders I am clueless about. I need help knowing what these files are, where they came from and can I delete them. Some folders are; com.facebook.katana ; .tmp ; .KRSDK ; and .SDKDownloads ;
 
Where on the device did you find these?

From memory com.faceboot.katana is the actual name of the facebook app (which I don't have installed, so can't see what it would keep in such a folder). .tmp will be temporary files (I have an empty /sdcard/.temp on my device), no ideal about the other 2 except that "SDK" is normally short for "Software Developer Kit".
 
I meant which part of the filesystem. But I guess you mean either the internal "sdcard" or an actual SD card.

Did you look to see whether there is anything in them? Mind you, if there isn't then they aren't taking up any space either.
 
And if the Facebook one has anything in it it will be stuff stored by FB.

The 2 SDK folders are not standard, so presumably related to something you've done at some point. You'll be in a better place to judge them than me. Have you ever rooted the phone, or tried to? Could be related to something called kingroot.

The tmp one you can just ignore.

Are you referring to the pictures of emoticons? Could you show a screenshot of one of them to explain what you mean
Conversations are usually not stored by an app in a manner by which you can easily read them. They are usually encrypted.

Yea, they are under a files listed as stickers. I tried to send you copies but couldnt get them uploaded. So is that where they have been sent to someone or part of an app?

I have no clear idea why are those pictures stored by the Facebook app. They seemed to be the same ones used during a chat.
