Folders in Applications

I have found a number of folders with names like F8403T2L1-install-NKEpyu

Anyone know what they might be?


iMac 27″, macOS 10.13

Your Mac's anti-Virus methodology ensures that NOTHING can become executable unless it is intact, unmodified, sandboxed, and approved by you. In recent version of MacOS, Applications folders are strictly controlled, and in the most recent, an entirely separate locked Volume is used to hold invariant parts of MacOS.


What any arbitrarily-named file or folder actually is, is not important. WHERE it is is vitally important.


So for assistance with this, please supply the COMPLETE directory-tree AND the name of the file.
