These devices appear to be created by snap and are required in order to use applications installed that way (see this question). However, as vanadium mentioned below, these should not normally appear in the file manager. I believe that the person asking this question had the same problem, so you should be able to hide those devices using the same method as the answers there. However, there may be a better/more permanent fix if the devices being shown is due to some other misconfiguration.
