why the temporary table has no content

i use percona server ,when i check information_schema.global_temporary_table and temporary_table,i find nothing,but i can observe a lot of temp table from my temp dir

ls /data/mysql_tmp_no_del/

#sql_196c_1.MYD #sql_196c_1.MYI #sql_196c_5.MYD #sql_196c_5.MYI #sql_196c_6.MYD #sql_196c_6.MYI #sql_196c_7.MYD #sql_196c_7.MYI #sql_196c_8.MYD #sql_196c_8.MYI

You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

This table apparently shows only tables created with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE, not those created implicitly to process complex queries.
