Question on Storage\Archives foler
In the appdata\roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xyz\storage\archives folder there are 2 folders, \0 and \default. They contain over 500MB between them and are not cleared out by removing all website data (it did clear out Storage/Default). Can the content of these 2 folders be deleted? The \0 folder contains 30 folders with dates for the folder name ranging from 2022-01-16 to 2023-10-26 for a total of 115 MB. The \default folder contains over 1000 folders dated from today back to 2017 for a total of 475 MB. The names of the folders in \default are variations of websites visited and pages I have saved elsewhere (https++++www.xyz.com and file++++c++doc+ etc.)
I tried searching "storage\archives" and came up blank, I hope no one else has answered this in some other thread. Thank you for any info.

You didn't downgrade this profile to an earlier Firefox version as I think that could be a possible cause for the presence of the archive folder?
You can safely remove this archive folder. Storage/Default is used to store offline website data (local storage or indexedDB) for various schemes including extension data. You can clear the data for websites you no longer intend to visit, check the last modified date in detailed list view mode.
