What is an HSH file?

HSH files mostly belong to O&O DiskImage.

Primary Use: HSH files are used to store hard drive image backup metadata. They are generated by backup software such as O&O DiskImage, and the file contains the data used to recreate disk images.

Other Uses:

Thumbnail Cache: Some HSH files serve as a cache for FastStone Image Viewer, holding thumbnails to speed up image loading.
Game Map Files: In other cases, these files hold map data used by Halo Custom Edition.
