    Those file sizes would suggest they were ZIP’s, or VOB’s (DVD files), or maybe even VHD (virtual hard drive from VM software).
    You could try renaming the extension and seeing if you get lucky.

    Those names “ny mapp” translate to “the map” - were they GPS maps or something?
    Or saved video tour from Google Earth?

      I’m Swedish and “ny mapp” just mean “new folder” haha. No, they are just normal computer folders with files in them. Yes you are right, they used to be ZIP’s. I think it when wrong somewhere when I used WinRAR or 7-Zip, I think possible used 7-Zip.

      I tried to change the format from .xep to .7z but it looks the same and when tried to pack up the files in that program, it just says that I can’t open the file that is a [7z]-archive. What does that even mean?

        if you right click on one of the files & choose open with can you choose Windows explorer or .7z?

          I kind of want to delete them all right now tbh. I’ve been trying so many different solutions, trying so many different programs, nothing works. I guess it is time to just give up and simply get rid of them so I don’t have to deal with this anymore. I’m just tired of this.

              If you cannot open the folder, how do you know it has txt jpg etc inside.

                Maybe they were backup files, and if so, they are just copies of your originals.
                Some backup software dumps your files into a ZIP folder.

                If you aren’t missing any personal stuff like docs, pics etc, then I would agree - delete and move on, (y)
