android – suspicious hidden files

Here are some odd hidden files in my home directory:

Caches of dubious value

wine is no surprise; I have used it in the past, and the date is old.

youtube-dl: maybe I used it on that date.

fontconfig: don’t think so

But .android three days ago? We do not own any android devices, nor does anyone who has visited us, except maybe a realtor who was here 1 July. But he did not access our network, and even if he did, he shouldn’t have been able to create anything on my MacBook Pro that was asleep at the time and delay it for six weeks!

Any reason I shouldn’t just delete this stuff? What would .android be for if we don’t use Android? (No Google apps here either)
