My Downloads folder has two files that I'm not sure what they are there for: "include.txt" and "exclude.txt." "include.txt' only shows "sources/boot.wim." "exclude.txt" only shows "sources/." Does anyone know why these are there and what uses them? I want to delete them but don't want to mess something up.

None of those files are essential to the operation of your Ubuntu system, and can be safely deleted without damaging your Ubuntu system.
None of those files were created by Ubuntu automatically. You created them somehow. They might be important to some project of yours -- we don't know anything about you or your projects.
If you are curious about the contents of those files, then read them.
The Downloads directory is not a typical place where software gets installed to. It is, however, a normal place where files that you click in a web browser get downloaded to.
