Tempset.txt - anyone know what this is/does?

Hi all
Was doing a cleanup of my SSD C: drive and found a 5GB file associated with IDrive called Tempset.txt. Was created nearly 4 years ago and last modified over a year ago, and simply contains a very long list of filenames (including full directory path).

File is in C:\ProgramData\IDrive\IBCOMMON\<username>\

Did a Google search on tempset.txt and found virtually no references whatsoever.

Has anyone ever come across this file before, and is it safe to delete?

Appreciate anyone's views.

Thanks!

Thanks SteveA - I'm inclined to delete it, as its name suggests it was a temporary file that was once utilized (possibly for an archive clean-up), but probably no longer needed.
