They are being generated because of this line in your vignette

https://github.com/mshasan/OPWeight/blame/master/vignettes/OPWeight.Rmd#L18

where you say cache=TRUE. Set cache=FALSE or maybe cache = 
getOptions("OPWEIGHT_CACHE", FALSE) (that would need to be tested).

Also, remove the vignette/OPWeigth_* directories from git, and / or add 
~/.Rbuildignore plain text file with vignettes/OPWeight_*.

Test with a new clone of your package

git clone --depth 1 ...
R CMD build OPWeigth

Consider 'cleaning' your git repository to remove traces of the large 
cache files, using
