I have my prefetch disabled so nothing is stored there.

If you wish to delete those files, delete them to the recycle bin and then
use CCleaner to clear that out - but you will find that you will have to do
this daily if you want the prefetch folder cleared of files.

If you wish to disable Prefetch, this link will show you how:

Hope this helps
