We do not work with "typo" (which is totally different product found at http://www.typosphere.org/), we work with TYPO3. Please, do respect the name. You would not like to be called "Marce" or "Arcel", right? :)

You can go to install tool and clean files from there. It is safe. Or you can set up a cron job for this. Also safe :)

It writes files there only on when it needs. But it does not track old files and does not remove them. This is why you got so many files there.
