Actually, nobody knows exactly are .thumbdata* files and what is their purpose, well except for the developers, but they didn’t share their info. There are just hints and deductions, but there are no exact specifications for the THUMBDATA format.
The .thumbdata* files are hidden by default, so unless you have the option for showing hidden files enabled, (Menu ► Settings ► Show Hidden Files) you might not even be aware of them and that they are eating up your free space.
You can find them in /DCIM/.thumbnails folder on your SD card or internal storage, depending on where your images are saved by default.
