Why are all these files created and saved?

[Bob Elzer]

they are probably used to open your pdf files faster, see how long it takes
to open a big pdf after you remove them all, then see how long it takes on
subsequent opens.

if you have plenty of ram make a ramdisk and  create a symbolic link of
that directory to the ramdisk, then they all go away when you shut down.

If this is an SSD, then I would definitely do that to save on wear and tear.
