Why/How is my 2022 iPad Air creating .cvs files?

I was just looking for some saved documents,pdfs in my Files folder and many many csv files that make absolutely no sense to me. They are data

spreadsheets with numbers, dates,longitude etc., that appear to have self generated . Should I delete them?

This is odd. I don't know of any app that would create CSV files in the Files app but it doesn't mean none exists. By any chance, have you downloaded or created a shortcut or personal automation in the Shortcuts app?


Long-press one of those files and take a screenshot. Also, if you can open one of them take a screenshot of its content. This might help us understand where the files are coming from.
