Did it look like this picture below? I found over 2000 of these files in my downloads folder. None of them have extensions. When I added .txt to the end of that reddit one and opened it, looked like the second picture below. This is happening on my pre-ordered Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 (unlocked). It's not rooted and fully up to date on everything at the time of this comment.

Welcome to AC!

I moved your question to the Samsung Fold 5 forums
The other forum u posted this was too old and not the same device
 
Welcome to Android Central! The "png" makes me think those are thumbnails. Not sure why they're being downloaded, though.

Are these files constantly being added? If you delete them all, then check the Downloads folder again in a day, is it full of more files like that?
