Greyed out timeline tile doesn't get removed
I know someone has asked the same question, but the answer doesn't work.

shell:startup
ctrl+alt+del startup menu
Windows Settings>Apps>Startup

Does anyone know what those folders whose names are long sequences of hex numbers enclosed with brackets are used for? I have hundreds of them in my AppData directory and a hankering desire to remove them all! None of them appear to have any files in them.
Windows 7 Pro SP1. Customize Start Menu option 'Recent Items' IS checked. Nothing shows up in C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent. Anyone got any ideas as to where to start looking? Maintenance is current. TIA for any help received.
