4 disks called "Creedence Cryptex" appeared on my desktop

After upgrading to Sequoia, I noticed that there are 4 new volume disks on my desktop. They all have the exact same name: "Creedence11M6270.SECUREPKITRUSTSTOREASSETS_SECUREPKITRUSTSTORE_Cryptex", are all the same size/ have the same files, and are APFS format. Can I delete these files? or the duplicates and leave one? Screenshot attached.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 15.0

All startup items deactivated, and it's still there

I do use an external start-up disk though

Which is also where the disk resides

Can't eject, unmount or erqase it, as it is "in use"

They r under your System directory I believe so you’ll need to go into recovery first then to the terminal and find them

Then do mount -uw / first and then try

rm -rf file name
