I purge the directories of these from time to time, as I have just done again. But they tend to very slowly accrue, for one reason or another. It's not a major worry. Anyway, better that the archive have everything including some harmless text editor temporary files than that it have one vital file missing because of a wildcard exclusion/deletion, which I have experienced in the past.
