Note the 'd' in first column of the listing I provided. They are _not_
files but directories - with names from project files I used over time.

As you can see from the dates of those directories, they are fairly recent
as well. So it's not like an old Lazarus IDE version leftovers.

:) I consider them ugly because they use a *.lpi filename, but aren't files
- in fact they are directories. I never name a directory 'myfile.txt'
