Well, I honestly don't know what those files are or what might be creating
them.
You might check the event viewer to see if the files correspond to some
issue that might be regularly coming up on your system; note, it could be
some background issues so you might not even be aware. Open Control Panel,
open Administrative Tools, open Event Viewer and look for errors in the
various sections. When you find one, double click, the information
contained within might give a clue as to what's going on.
Also, have you checked the properties of those time files, right click,
select properties, there may be information in the properties that might
give a clue as to the source of those files.
