gen_py and fontconfig are created once and not recreated each time calibre is restarted. In other words you will not have more than one of those. I'm interested in temp files that multiply with each calibre restart.

The cal(whatever).tmp files are news to me. I'll have to look into what is creating them. All temp files created by calibre itself (as opposed to those created by libraries/programs calibre uses) should be in the calibre_0.7.59_something directory, which is deleted on exit.
