You can safely delete these files.
The last 4 are index files that are created by the "findfast" program.
Whenever you do a "Find" (its a menu item on your Start button), it
uses these files to do the search. Every partition has these to index
the files on that partition.
Recycled is a directory of the files you've deleted on that partition.
Probably empty (or nearly so) as well if you haven't ever used
the partitions for anything.

Shouldn't be. You can check what hidden files you have with
"dir /s /a:h".
