I found some folders with non-sense names, like afalakplffnnnlkncjhbmahjfjhmlkal, under …\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser-Beta\User Data, on my computer running Windows 10. They all seem to have different versions of something (1.0.35, 1.0.750, 1.0.12 and others). Is it safe to keep only the folder with the newest version and delete the rest?

Brave Version 1.17.61 Chromium: 86.0.4240.185 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)

@aamadorj,  
Those are extension directories – all chrome/chromium extensions get installed with a similar “non-sense” name. I have the same on my end:
