With every (albeit infrequent) restart of my MBP (early 2011, but running the most current OS), I get "recovered files" folders in my trash. Through searches, I've come to learn generally what causes this, but I've been unable to figure out what program(s) is/are the culprits. Can anybody offer a suggestion so I can see what is hanging my shutdown and likely causing these files to appear in my trash?
Got a tip for us?

It is just temporary files created by some apps and you don't need to worry about it. I notice Pages and Numbers both do this sometimes. I have read MS Office apps also do it.
