What to do with the .prg_Snapshots folders and .evsettings files?

Multiple .prg_Snapshots folders and .evsettings files appeared in my Eviews work folders that I did not notice before. Had they been there all along but were hidden from view? If so, how can I hide them again? What are the uses of these folders/files?

You can tell Windows to not show hidden folders/files, then you won't see them.
Snapshot folders contain the automatic (or manual) backups/snapshots of the workfile or program.
.evsettings on programs contains the debugging information when debugging a program.

Company IT policy would not allow me to change hidden file settings. Is there a way to ask EViews software to not generate these files?
