I have seen these files mount up. In the tmp directory. Now are these erased at reboot and automatically cleaned. If so, there's definitely no need to delete them, just not copy to a backup or archive.

Owing to how file unlinking works in UNIX/Linux systems, if a process
has a temporary file open when you delete it, it won't be removed until
the process terminates. However it's unwise to rely on this when a
temporary file might be closed and re-opened, including by a different
process. That could lead to unpredictable behaviour because of race
conditions.
