The first one looks like an export somebody made from a zope object
to an export file. it shouldn't affect anything to delete it,
it's just a backup.

Do NOT delete the second one, it's part of the standard Zope install.

I don't think you've learned yet that most things in zope are
not files on the filesystem. I was referring to objects in the
zope object database (ZODB).

Go to http://your_zope_site/manage, and if you can get in that way,
click on the "Find" tab and search for anything with the id
"navigation".  That's what i was implying, but I guess it was
a bit over your head at this point.

I suspect it is not a file, it is an object in Zope.
This distinction is fundamental.
