Windows 10 - Files being left in temp folder

Windows 10 / Codelite 9.2.0 / wx 3.1.0

I've just noticed that my temp folder (C:\Users\CT\AppData\Local\Temp in my case) contains a lot of files, all called cc<something>, e.g. "cc1vniOe". I don't know if these are being created by codelite; typical first few lines of a file is
--subsystem
windows
-Bdynamic
-o
./Debug/UIColours.exe
e:/dev/mingw-4.7.1/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.7.1/../../../crt2.o
e:/dev/mingw-4.7.1/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.7.1/crtbegin.o
-L.
-LE:/Dev/wxWidgets-3.1.0/lib/gcc_dll
-Le:/dev/mingw-4.7.1/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.7.1
-Le:/dev/mingw-4.7.1/bin/../lib/gcc
This isn't especially significant as the files are small, but they do build up, and there were over 4,000 such files when I checked. I don't know if codelite is supposed to be removing them at some point, but clearly it isn't.

Cheers, Colin

These files are not created directly by CodeLite.
My guess its either the linker or the clang code completion
