As for those 3 files, I suspect they are the icons used by KFMon to launch the programs. I use NickelMenu to launch so I deleted those files.
Edit: the KOReader and KFMon icons should be in the root of your Kobo's exposed storage while the Plato icon is in the icons folder in the root of the storage.

If Kobo willy nilly deletes files because of a mistake then poor pity the person who gets files in Koboo's standard directories deleted. It is one thing to delete files in user directories but quite another to compromise the operation of the device. I suspect Kobo automatically excludes its own directories. I am trying to remember if E:\.kobo\guide\userguide.pdf is in my list of books.
If this is the case then the "standard" exclusion regex is perhaps overkilling since it excludes .kobo.* directories and .adobe.* directories. It doesn't seem to exclude fonts or icons subdirectories.
Yes kfmon.png and koreader.png appear in the top level directory. The exclusion regex perhaps should exclude those files but since it is a folder exclusion there may be no way to exclude it presumably. The one click installation gives me NickelMenu so can I delete them too?
I have taken my questions regarding ExcludeSyncFolders over to the Developers Corner. I still want to delve deeper into Kobo's file removal algorithm. Any pointers?
