I know that the files in the bld and bin folders are not what are being referenced by the deployed app (I can tamper with them and they have no effect on the app the next time I launch it from the start screen), so what are they for and what's the difference between the bld and bin folder?

The /bin directory is found on Linux computers and stores all binary executables. This directory includes all the command line commands and other binary executables. 3. Bin is also an abbreviation sometimes used for the Windows Recycle Bin.
The bin folder holds binary files, which are the actual executable code for your application or library. Each of these folders are further subdivided into Debug and Release folders, which simply correspond to the project's build configurations.
bin is the link folder of the system Recycle Bin on each hard drive, which is used to save the file or folder deleted from the hard disk. It is useful in recovering mistakenly deleted files from Recycle Bin on Windows 10/8/7.
Delete bin and obj foldersThe bin and obj folders are usually safe to delete since they are automatically generated when the solution/project is being build by Visual Studio/MSBuild. This feature is off by default, but can easily be enabled in the settings.
They're temporary build directories for the process of the application being "built". However, the bin directory is the deployment directory, and technically speaking you should be able to edit and have the next instance started pick up those changes.
When I tested this just now with the bin directory, it did pick up those changed once I terminated the app, and started again from the start page
