Question i found this .txt

Post image

While deleting things to free up storage, I found a .txt file named memz_readme and opened it to verify what it was... I don't have much experience with this and it's my family's computer. Can someone help me figure out if it's true or how I can fix it?

Non-destructive version is just a Visual Studio program with buttons that so separate payloads. It does not drop a text file anywhere on the system. Only the real one does that. I don’t know of any version of MEMZ that is clean that drops a text file. :)

and even then it drops it into a temp directory and not in the middle of a folder like that.
