They do not belong there.  In could move them all over to a Temp folder, run fsx and see if fsx complains.  They could be from a bad install.  For instance, the installer should have made a folder for the scenery such as KORD.  Then under that a scenery and texture folder.  Your picture is too small to see what some of the file names are (even when I click on it and go to the external website).  But anything with a .agn extension are textures which could belong to the default FSX in the Scenery/World/Texture folder or in an addon belonging to Orbx or FSDT airports.  These textures are definitely not located in the Main directory of FSX so I think it would be safe to move them to a Temp folder and then maybe delete them if FSX continues to function properly.

 

Best regards,

Where they are, those files are doing nothing.  But I couldn't make out the filenames however it looks like maybe they could be the landclass textures normally found in Scenery\World\Texture.   I'll go out on a limb and guess maybe they were intended as a backup of default terrain textures.  See if you have identical named files with newer "created dates" in World\Texture.
