Those are debug files. They aren't needed in a production environment.

They are debugging files that are created when you build your application in
"Debug" mode. Be sure to build in "Release" mode when you are ready to take
the assembly to production.

and also be sure to set debug to false under compilation in web.config.
Switching your application to release mode in the IDE, doesn't automatically
set it in web.config

<system.web><compilation defaultLanguage="c#" debug="false" /> ....

yeah that is what was confusing me. Copy project copies it even though I
compiled in release mode.
