Since I asked you to supply samples of your problem, and you have, I hope you don't mind too much if I carry this topic a little bit further.

As I said in my previous post, I too use VLC as my primary media player and I can quite categorically say that it does not create or leave preview files behind after previewing/playing an incomplete file.

Nevertheless, your spontaneously created PDF files which you call preview files, are usually files that are specially prepared documents compressed into PDF format. For example, most user guides are now displayed on a website, as PDF files, where you can download and print them out. PDF files should not be created by previewing a film clip.

You know, I have a feeling that your PCs security may have been compromised because, as you know, PDF are compressed files and as such can carry a booby-trapped payload. And as you delete them from your system before they can grow any bigger then you are relatively safe.

Sorry Rpbizzle, my paranoia would be working overtime if I saw files on my PC that spontaneously appeared or just weren’t suppose to be there.
