They are created by indexed_search in the function indexExternalUrl() of
class.indexer.php:

=== cut ===

        // Create temporary file:
$tmpFile = t3lib_div::tempnam('EXTERNAL_URL').'.html';
t3lib_div::writeFile($tmpFile, $content);

        // Index that file:
$this->indexRegularDocument($externalUrl, TRUE, $tmpFile, 'html');
unlink($tmpFile);

=== cut ===

As you can see, the file should be removed right after it has been created.
Seems like for some reason this does not work in your situation. But maybe
this will help you to locate the problem?
