I still get 2 zero-length calx.tmp files which are not deleted. I also have 2 non-empty directories which are not deleted: gen_py and fontconfig.

In addition, if I do a Ctrl-R to restart calibre I also get a 3rd directory containing a subdirectory of what looks like my 3 news recipes (which I rarely use). This doesn't get deleted when closing down either.
