YES, they are legitimate files. Depending, they might
be update records, disk images, and a few other
possibilities. Eah HD will also have a place where
images for Restore are kept.. The same think in any
folder called "cookies" though are trash: those you
can delete.
Actually, you -could- delete any of them in the root,
too, without crashing, but DON'T! They are valuable
and are useful for everything from update
determinations to your Restore points.
