These "FILEnnnn._DD" are Norton Disk Doctor recovery file(s).

They are the files that Disk Doctor creates if you save lost clusters as files.
Open them with Wordpad or Notepad (but don't associate them with anything!)
if you want to see what they contain, but 99% of the time it's just gibberish.

So you can probably remove them.
