What is this weird file I found?

It looks useless I don't know what it is or why its name is so long but I'm thinking about deleting it. What do you think?

    It is somewhat a temporary file created during installation. The funny characters are encrypted and I believe it was from your driver installation.

    It is safe to erase ;)

    You may not be able to delete it if in used.
