Photoshop Temp Files ??? Nov 1, 2018 6:44:55 GMT

I just found these in the first "root" level of my secondary internal HDD:

I think this is something new that has started happening; I have never before noticed there being such files there before.
The oldest is dated 15-August and it has probably been that long since I have looked in that particular view of the HDD.

However, very frequently, I use Synchredible to synchronize my back-up HDDs with this HDD; and, I have it set such that any files that have been removed from the source HDD get deleted from the back-up HDDs and kicked into the Recycle Bin >>> I have never found any Photoshop Temp files in the Recycle Bin.

Can anyone shed any light on the where and why of these files ?

Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.

Elements 7 ~~~ 64-bit Windows 7

On a poverty-level Kentucky budget, a 24-exposure roll of film would have two Christmases and a summer vacation on it and we might have to wait another six months before being able to afford developing the film.
I still have trouble remembering that it doesn't cost anything to take thousands of pictures; it just almost seems impossible to be true.

Thanks for the information.

I might ought to have a look around; I may find a bunch of these scattered around in hidden places.

I have another program, Picture Window Pro, that saves several huge TIFF files of various stages of the same image; these never go away until I manually delete them.
