Accepted Answer

Your camera has created the folders. They are not pre-installed on the card. If you delete them, they will be created again. XML has nothing to do with Word.

Answer

Hi lucawidmer1,

the files and folders mentioned are created by the camera and the computer to manage the data stored on the memory card and should not be deleted.
