Photoshop has not always done a good job with cleaning up these temp files, 
especially if PS crashes (which is not an uncommon for me).

The simplest thing is to try do delete all of them when PS starts up. The 
remove() call will fail for the current temp file(s), but you do have to know 
where they're located to do the getFiles() call.

And if you want to shutdown, photoshop at the end of your script, do this:
     photoshop.quit();


For a more elaborate solution, you could send bit of script to Bridge to 
shutdown PS, remove all of the temp files and restart PS. I've written several 
fault-tolerant scripts that would restart PS multiple times when processing 
thousands of images over the course 12-48 hours, so this technique does work.

 From what I have seen in the past, the temp files are deleted as a part of 
normal PS shutdown, not during startup. I've had several temp files of different 
ages laying around long after they were needed.
