About this tag
The tag 'random names' on WindowsForum.com covers user discussions about unusual or randomly named folders and files appearing on Windows systems. A recurring theme involves folders with long strings of numbers and repeated 'Z' characters, often found on the C drive. These folders may contain numerous subfolders with similarly random names, including periods. Users report being able to delete such folders, but seek explanations for their origin and whether they are safe to remove. The tag is relevant for troubleshooting mysterious or seemingly random file and folder names in Windows, particularly when they appear without clear purpose or source.
