Thank you for your bug report, those files are not ones for gedit but copies left on purposed (there is an option in the preferences that you enabled for that). See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310208 Closing, that's not a bug, if you don't want those files just don't turn the option on...
