    The TDR host sensor creates hidden directories in several locations on the file system. Documents folder, Desktop, c:\ and a few other locations. These folders contain files for the host sensor to monitor for suspicious activity and are required for Host Ransomware Protection to work.

    The files can't be deleted. If you remove the directories the host sensor will just recreate them. We recommend to not show hidden files and folders if these directories are causing concern for your users.
