Default Folder Backup Question

I did something - not sure what. I now have copies of all my numerous email
folders sitting in the recycle bin, with .bak extensions. The originals
seem to be unaffected, as I an access them all in "local folders".

1. How did the backups get created?

2. Can I safely empty the recycle bin?
