[CentOS] Centos 7 Install

[Jerry Geis]

It looks like its these files:
drwx------ 2 root    root    8192 Aug 17 16:11 lu10398gvo2au.tmp
drwx------ 2 root    root    8192 Aug 17 16:14 lu3245gvrkvp.tmp
drwx------ 2 root    root    4096 Aug 17 16:14 lu4298gvwjcr.tmp

That just keep growing and "many" files in each directory.
Over time it fills the / root partition.

What is making those files ? How do I stop it?
