I have a huge (32GB) file in my appdata local temp folder. What is this used for and is it safe to delete? Will this mess with anything in RPCS3?

My specs if they help/needed.

CPU: Ryzen 9 3900x
Ram: 32Gb
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64

It doesn't take up any space on disk. Explorer is misleading on sparse files. Right click the file and see the actual size on properties.

RPCS3 will generate it after opening the .exe so no.
