An fof file was flagged during a Sucuri scan so I was checking further on those files. The ones listed in the screenshot may be legacy files. Are they needed any longer? Safe to remove?

FOF has been dead since 2021. It has not used for our software for Joomla 4.0 and later. Yes, absolutely safe to delete now.
