Werid files showing up in internal storage

[Android Central Question]

Hi I've been getting some strange files that randomely showing up in my internal storage the last few months. I delete them and they come back. Some time they come twice in a day. Other times can go days or weeks after deleting before they show up again. Does any one know what app they maybe coming from. The file names are guide_long_tap , guide_tap_anywhere
guide_tap_profile
guide_tap_the_sign

Are these in the root directory of your internal storage?

Welcome to Android Central! Are they image files? What's the pathname of the directories they're in?

Hi sorry its been months since created post. these files are still showing up. i have a galaxy note 9. The files are in the main internal storage file part not in any folder. when i click on them it just says none of the apps on my phone can open them.

thanks for any help you can give

Based on this link (https://www.joesandbox.com/analysis/340421/0/pdf?download=1), I think those are png (image) files used by the system. They might represent images that appear when the user performs those kinds of actions (like a long tap, a short tap anywhere, etc.). I don't think they're malicious.
