Why you call it "junk"? Just because you don't want it?

.android_secure folder contains files of the apps which you moved to SD
card.

Similar to .android_secure, also contains data of apps which use the SD
card.

Ask the creators of the Apps (Google Music, Mapfactor Navigator).

Linux standard folder for the results of file system checks in case the
card wasn't properly unmounted before removing it from the slot or when
the system crashed without unmounting the file systems first.

Because the system isn't designed that way. Live with it. I wouldn't
bother as long as the system works without any errors.
