Please, can you explain what you mean by a "recursive add"? I'm assuming I need these files.
You don't really need them; they are a backup of the data in your Calibre database. You can regenerate them from the GUI with Library -> Library Maintenance -> Library metadata backup status -> Queue all books for backup. Or with the command line 'calibredb backup_metadata'
