Deleting such files doesn’t affect anything so delete them.
 

Memory

Memory is nothing but cache the main difference is they are not attached with the app they are stored in a different location in storage.

  1. There are very few files which come under Obselte files.

    That's why hardly you will observe any obsolete file while cleaning trash files.
