I updated one of my add-ons to do a simple "cleanup" of files. A test build is 
available here: 

http://people.mozilla.org/~mfinkle/fennec/addons/mobileprofiles.xpi 

Might be simplest to just navigate to 
http://people.mozilla.org/~mfinkle/fennec/addons and then zoom & tap 
mobileprofiles.xpi 

Look on the menu for "Tools > Profiles > Cleanup Files" 

This should remove any unexpected files/folders in the root and remove any 
app_tmpdir (temp files) too.
