I see filenames like ".xdp-manga library.tc~.QuLlto-Lgk2pM" and many like this. Opening them in Ark shows they look like old Tellico files. I have the option to save all the library images in the .tc file enabled btw. Just wondered what these are. Thanks!

Honestly, I'm not sure what they might be. Tellico typically saves a
back up file with a ~ suffix, but once the file save is successful,
that is removed. Has Tellico crashed for you repeatedly or any other
file system issues? You shouldn't have any issues just deleting them
(move them to another file if you want to be sure).
