Re: [photoshop-beginners] Delete XMP Files?

XMP files are data files about the picture you took and processed. Mine are
generated by ACR when I work on a raw file and convert to jpg or some other
format
Here is the data for one of my files: _MG_4141.xmp

Subject: [photoshop-beginners] Delete XMP Files?

I have alot of XMP Files in Recycle bin. Not sure what they represent. I
have deleted many images from WLPG & Pictures Library, but do not know if
these files represent the deleted images or some other images. They are in
a C:\ File - Pictures\My Catalog\CAXMP Files 7-8KB (or were and all have
same date.) I may have deleted the entire catalog by mistake so wonder how
to handle these files - delete them from recycle bin or restore them. Never
encountered XMP Files with other deleted images and did empty images (w/o
XMP File) from recycle bin. All advice/experiences welcome, thanx, Trish
