WRL files are temporary files (Word's Undo History) which are created whenever you open and work on a word document. Word cleans up those files when it's closed. if the files are not deleted automatically it may indicate a problem with the installation.

the files do not delete automatically.
what to do?

From Google search: "delete wrl files"

Answer:
To get rid of ~WRLxxxx.tmp files, delete Word's Undo history, execute the
following in Word VBA

ActiveDocument.UndoClear

(repeat as necessary for open documents) and voila! All annoying files
disappear!

Additional Ref:Description of WRL file extension

These files are harmless. You can delete them safely if you wish to cleanup or simply leave them.

thank you
god to be helped
