=2Exac are the backup copies. (can be deleted if you make your own
backups)
=2Elog are journals, handy for recovery in case of crash.  (can be deleted)
=2Elnk prevents multiple copies of gnucash from trying to edit the same
file at the ame time.  These are supposed to be automatically removed by
gnucash itself ... if tey're old, delete them.
