folders in Zotero/storage with only hidden files
Some of the folders in my Zotero/storage folder only have files like:
.zotero-ft-cache
.zotero-ft-info
and no corresponding PDF, though the contents of these files seem like they came from a PDF. When I search for the 8 character name of the folder in Zotero using "All fields and tags", I get no results.
Can I safely remove these folders and their contents? seems like they must have been meant for deletion but somehow didn't get deleted.

dstillmanDid you check in all libraries? It's perfectly normal to have storage folders with just those files when using download-as-needed mode with "Sync full-text content" enabled — Zotero syncs full-text content so that you can perform attachment content searches without having the PDF locally. You shouldn't delete them.
