VS2010 generating output files

When I build my project in VS2010, a bunch of files show up (as shown below). So every day or so, I have to delete them to keep my project directory tidy.  Why am I required to do this extra chore?

for example....

link.3832.read.1.tlog
link.3832.write.1.tlog
link.3832-cvtres.read.1.tlog

etc

Create a small script (.bat, .vbs, powershell) or application that deletes the files.

Either add it to your project to run it from the Solution Explorer, or set it to start at a regular time in Windows Task Scheduler.

This is what all users of Visual Studio are now required to do?   Seems like a strange product design.  Are you sure there is not just some setting in VS2010 to turn this off?  Does VS2012 have this mis-feature?   In good old version 6.0 I didn't have this issue.

I went up to VS2015 and these files do not get created anymore....
