Edit
apparently they belong in the includes folder, were they also are. could it be of any use for a hacker to have these two folders in the root?

I've been checking my drupal site and noticed in the root folder were two folders, database and filetransfer:

I dont know if this is hacked or belonging to some module or stuff, does anyone know something about this?

    Start version tracking your code, like with Git. Then you'll know if anything new was added you haven't tracked before. – leymannx Apr 26 '18 at 8:07
  • we do, of course. but not the drupal core files. still gonna look into the tracked files, thanks – Alex Apr 26 '18 at 8:39
  • Rename these folder, check if your site is still running, if it is still running, delete them. – leymannx Apr 26 '18 at 8:43

    Sorry, we can't provide individual hack-checking here - it's not going to be useful to the general population as each person's site could potentially be hacked in any number of different ways. The duplicate has a lot of useful general information in it, but the only way to be sure is to consult with a qualified security professional (preferably one that's very familiar with Drupal) – Clive♦ Apr 26 '18 at 9:08

I don't know if you've been hacked, or just accidentally copied those folders to root, but they shouldn't be in root by default.
