The amount of space they waste is so negligible that you would die of
old age long before the space they take up would matter, even if all you
did was view PDF's ass day long, but if they bother you all that much,
why don't you make a script that goes though your system and deletes all
the files you don't care about and then add it to your list of Autostart
scripts so that it gets run ever time you login. That should keep your
machine relatively clean all the time.

Can someone please tell me why 'okular' saves a
file like the example below every time it is used?
Is there any good reason why all these hundreds
of nuisance files should not be deleted? I've
deleted a few and it has no affect on opening
another copy of the example .pdf file.
What (if anything) is the purpose for okular
to create all these nuisance files to clutter
up my file system? And is there some way to
put a stop to it?
The same seems to be true for an unknown number
of other programs that create thousands of what
seem to be nuisance, space-wasting files that I
keep finding on my system.
