I've been trying to clear up some space on my C drive and I discovered multiple files named "unp31083310368311225i-manual.mdmp". They're all similar but have different numerical endings and there are more than 20 of them, taking up around 22 MB each. Is it normal to have these files? Are they safe to delete?

Honestly, 22MB each isn't a huge amount. But with over 20 of those files, it can start to add up. If you're looking to free up space, you might want to check them out first and see if they’re worth keeping.
Yeah, those are generally harmless error dump files. They capture diagnostic info for developers to identify what's wrong. You could look at one with Notepad if you're curious about which program is causing it. But overall, they’re safe to remove.
If you really want to know what’s eating your disk space, consider using a tool like WizTree. It'll give you a clearer picture of what files are taking up room on your drive.
Those files are likely error dump files created by some programs when they crash. You might have a setting enabled that automatically saves these dumps. If you don’t need them for troubleshooting, you can safely delete them.
