Can I delete the files in the catelog "Zotero->storage"?

UniquerTrustte

I use Webdav to sync my pdf files in Zotero. But the cataloge I mentioned contained lots of strage name folders like "EUYR8R39", and the folders contain files like ".zotero-ft-cache", "".zotero-ft-info".
Are they useflu? or I can delete them.
Thanks!

Don't delete them. They're used for full-text indexing of files across synced machines so that not every synced computer has to re-index files.

Thanks!
BUT sometimes these folders contain only a single PDF file, and every this time I cannot rename and link the attachment using Zotfile.
How can I deal with it?

If you're using WebDAV, you shouldn't be using ZotFile to move and rename.

But having individual PDFs in these folders is normal and ZotFile should be able to rename & move them.

(You can use Zotfile to rename, but be sure that you have selected to use Zotero storage in the Zotfile settings.)
