The simple answer is to create a blacklist of files or file patterns that you should ignore. A lot of programs have to do this, because it is not uncommon for operating systems to create extraneous files that the user will not care about (e.g. ".DS_Store", "Thumbs.db", "whatever.bak", etc.). You cannot prevent the OS or other programs from creating extra, secret book-keeping or garbage files -- not without potentially breaking things, so just leave them be and remember to ignore them.
