Those files are temporary work files the program uses while it is
running.  Normally, they are deleted when you exit the program.  If,
however, you exit the program abnormally by rebooting or turning off
your machine, those files are not deleted.  Then, when you start the
program again, it will create another set of temporary files.  This
can lead to a vicious cycle leading to quickly disappearing hard disk
space...believe me, I know.  Good luck!
