Those are safe to delete. Windows puts them there, and when you have it set to view hidden and system files is when you see them. But it hurts nothing to delete them.

Safe as well thumbs.db.
IN fact I enabled a reg tweak on my personal system to tell windows to stop making the thumbs.db files. They bug me lol
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer]
"DisableThumbsDBOnNetworkFolders"=dword:00000001
