    Is this normal..i didn't remember or else understand why i have this one in my home partition.I maybe understand that this files are somekind of settting or something a system needed as you can observe it from its filename.

    Hope you can clarify me about all of this files

    Or should i delete this directory..

    I already check my /boot/grub/* in my main root partition.
