Answer 1

You can manually remove those; they were not properly cleaned up by Java when updating. See:

'''<u>In your case</u>''', remove folders:
*{CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-'''''0004'''''-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
*{CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-'''''0007'''''-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
*{CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-'''''0010'''''-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
*{CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-'''''0012'''''-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
*{CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-'''''0014'''''-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
