I have found 2 files on my USB flash drive which do not have a file name. Instead the file name is 2 boxes. When I tried to view these file on another PC the boxes changes to a "music note" icon. I have tried to delete them but get a message saying the file can not be accessed.

Would anyone have any idea what these file could be, they are also quite large too.

Thanks ?????????
