    Have you ever run Hijack reports?

    That file
    {9F5FBC24-EFE2-4f90-B498-EC0FB7D47D15} comes up with something about it , thats all.

    And You shouldn't go deleting files from your C Drive.
    Why do You want to delete them if theres no harm being done to your computer , you should just leave file system files alone. Otherwise you could run into problems than its worth it
