Hi everyone, I'm asking for help because whenever I search up "photo" in my downloaded folder, these random JPEGS that I never downloaded appear. Should I delete them? They seem to be from music albums, but im not too sure.
MacBook Air, macOS 15.3

Right-- it's searching "This Mac," the whole computer, not Downloads. Be careful!
These may even be from the Music app. Here's some of what I get:
Many of these look like album covers, and they have unique file names given by Apple apps. The path for each file is shown at the bottom of the window and Kris Kristofferson looks like this:
The image is tiny, 68 KB. I'm not deleting this.
There's no app that refers to Downloads, so you can trash the stuff there that you don't want. Of course, if you're in doubt about it, you can drag some to the trash, don't empty the trash, and see if anything changes.

They look to me to be nothing more than cached images from web pages.
Do you rip CD's?
I think sites that determine the songs and artists from the length of the tracks may download album art.
Hi, no I didn't do anything. This macbook is completely new, bought it about like 1-2 months ago, so I havent done anything that was out of the norm. I just use this computer for schoolwork and netflix, nothing else. This is what happens whenever I search up photos in the "Finder" app
Random JPEGS I never downloaded.
