Strange profiles are automatically created

I noticed, that Montana seems to autocreate some profiles in 'Profiles' folder, which are NOT shown in Montana UI. See Screenshot. Windows is unable to delete them, but Linux can. After deletion, the files are re-created again.
I suspect some sort of a bug. But it doesn't seem to harm, as my profiles work normally and fine. New are also created without any problems. I was able to reproduce that after an master reset.

I will try, if I am able to copy them somehow. Currently, I was only able to delete.

Just inspected my 750i with 9.20 loaded, no erroneous profiles found at this time...

Hm, I think, we can leave it for now. I don't know why, but as for now, I am not getting those files created anymore. I have no clue, why it now stopped. Maybe some race condition.

Are they still like that?
If yes, please also send privately a current copy of your garmindevice.xml, profiles and sql folders.
