To continue the bike^Wbrainstorming a little longer..

Debris evokes a previous explosion or crash to me;
detritus, decaying or dead stuff.  Neither feels
very accurate.

I hit the online thesauri and came up with

	leftovers
	remains

add to this (off the top of my head)

	temporaries
	workingfiles

I think any of the above four _might_ be better.
You could shorten temporaries to temps.
