Gmail suspected of downloading random files for the latest update

Android devices as far as I know have been struggling with weird files appearing in strange places. I noticed these:

Started looking for the culprit, aka uninstalled so many things…
Ended up selecting properties, found that all the files have the same general wording.
Google got me this:

I tried the tips and tricks but the files are back so this morning I uninstalled gmail lets see if that helps
