   Further detective work on my part has found it is Skype that creates   
   them. If I delete them and then stop the KDE  auto-start on Skype no new   
   files.   
      
   There was a Skype icon in one of the nested subfolders which pointed the   
   way forward.   
      
   The files creation time is the same as my starting time of  my Linux box   
   to within a minute.   
      
   If I re enable auto-start Skype they appear with the creation time of my   
   new boot.   
      
   So I now know what, but now need to work out how stop this.
