This is not urgent in any way....I'm just curious.
Once in a while, before emptying the trash, I'll double-check to ensure I haven't trashed something in error. There are always a bunch of folders entitled "Recovered files". Currently there are 83. I emptied a couple of weeks ago.
These 83 are almost all the same but this time I decided to take a closer look. They each contain a TextEdit document called MerpAD Office365 (zero bytes) dated from June 23 until yesterday. A few additionally contain a folder called msoclip which has a 0clip_themedata.xml document (3 KB).
I do not use Office 365 although I did recently visit the Microsoft site to poke around about Office.
Emptying the trash and getting rid of recovered file folders doesn't seem to make a difference to anything. I''m just curious about the fact that recovered files keep reappearing. It seems to me that, if they mattered, they'd appear somewhere other than in the Trash.
