The recipes directory which is not being deleted has a variable name e.g. calibre_0.7.59_tmp_nmzrru. The subdirectory for this one was called calibre_0.7.59_dv_jkj_recipes

This seems to be created by calibre as it starts. If I do a normal exit the dir is deleted. If I do a Ctrl-R a second calibre_0.7.59_tmp_x directory is created. On normal exit only one of them is deleted. So there can be a build-up if you do lots of restarts. Probably not common practice, but I noticed it when I was doing a lot of work editing my plugin.
