Safely deleting POSIX_ACL_ACCESS and DOSATTRIB files

Hello everyone,

We recently recovered files from a Linux based device to a Windows device. Lots and lots of POSIX_ACL_ACCESS and DOSATTRIB files for those recovered files are being shown in the folder. Is it safe to delete those POSIX_ACL_ACCESS and DOSATTRIB files for Windows use? It's a huge clutter, but we don't want to risk any corruption in our recovered files.

Thanks in advance.
