The next time the system boots after a crash, it will gather these temporary files and save them in the "Recovered Files" folder instead of immediately deleting them. This provides you with the opportunity to recover data in the rare case that something vital may have been stored in one of these files, though for most home and office applications these files will likely not contain any usable information.
If the "Recovered Files" folder keeps appearing in the trash when you restart your system, it is likely applications are quitting unexpectedly when they are being closed for shutdown. While the culprits could be any system process, it is more likely they are menu extras, system monitors, antivirus scanners, and other third-party utilities you may have installed. Sometimes this can happen after a system upgrade or other system configuration change, if the utility in question is not fully compatible with the changes.
