Description

Resolution:
The data cannot be deleted since it is part of the domain data stored in a binary format. This is to reduce the size of the domain .dat files. Although the directory names appear to be incorrect, their naming is deliberate in order to allow for operating systems where there are limits on the path length.  The path is deliberately truncated and since the significant information is in the last part of the name, the first part is the part that is truncated.
