They're only 197 Byte iirc and are a pain to remove as they require full submission to remove.
Even if you had 2000 maps on your PC and all of them had osbs in it, you'd only have around 400 additional Kilobyte on your PC, which is not even half a Megabyte, so it would hardly make a difference at all. So, when you come across them, you can gladly ignore them.
This does not mean you should ignore all unused files though. If there is an image or an audio file in the folder that doesn't do anything, you're still allowed to mod that! This is just about ridiculously small files that would not have an impact at all.
In the rare case that there are two or more osbs in the folder, kill em all.
Stickied for a month or so, until the message gets through to everyone.
