How to identify and remove odd files on MacBook Air? Hi. I recently just got a Mac, however, whenever I look in the finder (under "This Mac"), odd files with many numbers and letters appear. They are taking up a good chunk of storage, and it continues to increase and eat away at it. With my last MacBook, the same thing kept happening, and so I tried to completely factory reset, but it seems embedded in the software. Is this malware? Or is this just the operating system? I am under the same Apple ID, so I didn't know if it was possible for that to transfer over. Thank you! [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Odd files appearing -- bloating malware?
