Greetings mozillagod1604,


If you delete these scripts, do more appear? Learn how to delete them:


"Delete files and folders on Mac

At any time, you can get rid of files, folders, and other items that you no longer need. You start by dragging items to the Trash in the Dock, but the items aren’t deleted until you empty the Trash.

The right side of the Dock; the Trash icon is at the far right.

Note: If you turned off Time Machine or haven’t backed up your files recently, you may want to store a backup copy on a storage device, just in case you change your mind and want the item later." Delete files and folders on Mac


Also, do you notice if these files are on any other device?


Best wishes.
