windows 11

I have something in Windows 11 that I didn't have in Windows 10, it's a Gude File. When I open a file or click an item in File Explorer then close out a Gude File is created, I have them in all my folders. Can this be turned off? Is it best not to? Thanks for reading.

Just completed my itx build. I am a creator/photo editor/real estate photographer and this is going to be my work pc. Its been up and running for about a week now. Slowly been transferring files from my older build to the new build, Lr, Ps, etc... As long as I stay offline everything is working...
