Large numbers of temp files is very common, IMO even worse when you shop online. The temps should be cleaned on on a regular basis, you can use "disk Cleanup" in accessories or like many of us use an automatic cleaning program.

these are just occurring not in the temp internet folder but the "temp" directory and not due to surfing or shopping or anything like that
