arcgis desktop - ArcMap creates unnecessary file types when saving shapefile (.cpg .prj, lock, etc.)

When saving shapefiles, geocoding results or even exporting data in ArcMap, many different files are created. Most of the time when I save a shapefile, I want only the shapefile and not a .cpg, .prj, lock file, etc.

Is there a way to tell ArcMap (desktop version) using either the UI or Python code, to only save one file when saving shapefiles, dBase tables, etc.
