Why are you seeing the ./ files in the first place? You only see these if you turn on hidden files display. Ctrl -H Why do you need this on?

These files are normal to see in a Linux environment if you aren't hiding hidden files. They are created by various programs to store data in your user profile.

They are TYPICALLY hidden - in Linux, prefixing a directory or file with a . marks it to be hidden. Hit Ctrl+H to see if that hides the items from view. There should also be an option from the hamburger menu (the button with three horizonal lines in a 'hamburger' like pattern) that says "Show Hidden Files" - and you should uncheck that to hide those dot-files as they are typically called.

Deleting them will remove your settings and files, which will cause problems if you intend to use your applications. such as Thunderbird and keep your mail. DO NOT delete the files and folders.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
