No, you did not get these from 'an infected USB' since it is normal for them
to be present on all fixed drives/partitions, and you cannot permanently
remove them.
And please stop shouting.

These files are normally Hidden System Files - It would appear that some how you have made them visible.

Check on Organize - Folder and Search Options - View Tab and check the status of the Hide Hidden Operating system Files and the Hidden Files.

As for the shouting - best to keep to the default font for posting
