    Hi jvrproductions

    Hope you’re well?

    Apologies for the delay, we have an extremely high amount of threads lately.

    These files are part of a really old WordPress core version, your site must have been upgraded a lot over the years.

    They are safe to either ignore or you can delete them as they are no longer used by current WordPress.

    Hope this helps
