I have turn on file history and in the folder user/computer/data there are two folders. One is C and the other one is $OF.

The folder C simply reflects the structure of the folders I choose the add to file history. The folder $OF contains many subfolders. There are named with a string of digits (ei: 568, 5226). I can recognize my files in these subfolders but they are not organized in the same way that they are on my desktop.

So what is this folder $OF? What is the logic used to organized the files in it?

According to this answer on answer.microsoft.com, $OF holds files whose pathnames are too long to be stored on your backup device.

I noticed that each of the directories have a particular purpose. Each one contains a type of file (ie .jpg). So all .jpg's that have a too long a file name gets put in this directory whil other extensions each have their own directory numeric name.
