the errors where parthely in german but i wrote a hopfully good enough translation behind them.

for the phone:


xiaomi mi 8
256 GB (9% used)
This answer shows that the folder is related to Google Cloud backups. 

I experimented by deleting it. When I restarted the phone, it was re-created. The files and folders that were in it, were also re-created. I'll assume that it is safe to delete.
