[QUOTE="Aqua, post: 1359210, member: 37545"] Maybe it hasn't been noticed before but this has been asked on this forum before. I don't have numbers installed but I see them sometimes also. I started noticing them after I had installed intego and I think I've seen it after closing word. It seems to be system wide 'temp' file and maybe due to some program being slower shutting down or something. The answer here was that this is normal for a mac not to worry. After some more research, it seems to be more common when there are programs that have 'auto save' or 'save state' or some feature of the like. Apple seems to allude to that it's when you aren't shutting down properly which it may be, but also may be when an 'extra' internal thing like when sleep is activated (just a speculation). None the less, it is nothing to be concerned about. You can safely take things from it if need be or just empty trash. From somewhere else: "This goes back to System 9 and earlier. It used to be useful- in System 9, if you deleted an item and emptied the trash, you could still recover the file by turning off the computer without shutting down. On restart, the file was recovered in the trash." So obviously since it's not really harming anyone, it's not on Apples priority list to fix (just like those every returning permission files). But as stated above, I can also see it's usefulness. [/QUOTE]
