Found an old "~" file in "Macintosh HD" folder

Hi


I found an old "~" file in "`Macintosh HD" folder, 553 KB, dated 27/08/2012.

What's the purpose for this file?

Could it be from installing an OS X update at that time or the like?

Can I delete it?

Thanks.

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

How could I find out if this file is obsolete/dispensable?


It begins with:


⁄–˙– ( Ï ,æ <catalog>( String<

ArrayL êBundle\

Claiml PService


and ends with


org.x.X11 f, x11.app@ Contents/Resources/X11.icnsP Contents/MacOS/X11ft @x @x @x com.apple.fontsyncscripting® com.apple.FontSyncScriptingà FontSync Scriptingf fontsyncscripting.app g - Contents/Resources/FontSyncScripting.icns g,$ Contents/MacOS/FontSyncScripting A A A& Contents/Resources/FNSProfile.icnsg† Ä psnfÄ psnf CD g CF CF com.apple.keychainscripting com.apple.KeychainScripting8 Keychain Scriptingh\ keychain scripting.apphx- Contents/Resources/KeychainScripting.icns hò% Contents/MacOS/Keychain Scripting hà Aà Aà Aà com.apple.urlaccessscripting com.apple.URLAccessScripting URL Access Scripting url access scripting.app. Contents/Resources/URLAccessScripting.icnsiî' Contents/MacOS/URL Access Scripting» B B B ïÙ j


and there is a lot of paths information in the middle, if this helps.
