I know this question was asked in 2009, but the problem still exists.
Calibre leaves dozens of temporary folders in the Windows 7 Temp folder.
Calibre NEVER clears these folders.
The folders are of this type:
calibre_0.7.47_tmp_nxydob

I can reduce the number of folders created by reducing the number of active worker processes to 2, but this does not solve the problem. If the worker processes are crashing and not cleaning up, then there is a problem with Calibre.

The previous recommended solution, close Calibre properly.
HOW?
There is no proper Exit or Close button. The only exit method is Alt F4.
Using the Calibre Restart option only creates more temporary folders.

If nothing else, Calibre should offer a manual Purge Temp Files option.
