You can turn off creating those files in "Saving books to disk" preferences.

I remembered plugboards would let me change things according to format, but that would mess up the metadata.
Which is the point of the metadata plugboards, to fiddle with the metadata when sending them outside of the calibre library. I add page and word counts and some other stuff to the comments so I can see them in the synopsis on the device. Others play with other fields to get some effect they want.

But, it won't help what you want to do as it the metadata used for the save template is the original version, not the post plugboard version.
