This is part of the file system. If the file system stored on the card 
gets damaged (for example due to a system crash), the device is supposed 
to move recovered files into LOST.DIR during bootup.

Starting with Android 4.4, write access to the SD card was restricted to 
one dedicated directory for each application. These directories reside 
below the "Android" folder.
Some Apps may store important data here, do not delete! You can easily 
identify the culprit, because each subdirectory below Android is named 
the same as the app id.

> 3. .android_secure

This is somehow used, when an App is "moved" to the SD card, but i don't 
know the details.
If Android fails to mount an SD card, a corrupted .android_secure folder 
is frequently the cause and deleting the folder may repair the card.
