[SOLVED] "removing leftover files" boot messages

When I boot, there's a line saying "removing leftover files" : what it is referring to, exactly? What are those leftover files?

The answer is in /etc/rc.sysinit:

/etc/nologin
/etc/shutdownpid
/var/lock/*
/tmp/* and /tmp/.*
/forcefsck
Files in /var/run
