I just had this same issue with SSMS tools a week or two ago.
Go to SSMS Tools -> SQL History -> Options
I believe the "Tab Content and Tab Sessions Saving" is the tab you want to go to. You can then disable the feature there, and it should list where it has been saving the old versions of your open tabs.
