They are Photoshop work files. They are temp files and will be deleted when Photoshop is closed.  Photoshop can use a huge amount of scratch space when it is running.  If your Boot disk  does not have more then 100GB of free space do not  have it as Photoshop first scratch disk have it as the last scratch disk.  If Your boot system disk fills up your systems will not work well.

Sounds like your Scratch Disc settings are off ater you reset. The settings are located at Edit > Prefrences > Scratch Discs.
