See this for an explanation: Trimmomatic: What is the difference between paired and unpaired output files in paired-end mode

Paired files contain reads that survive trimming and are retained in both R1/R2 files. When one of the reads is discarded from R1/R2 its mate is put in "unpaired" file. Doing so keeps the order of surviving reads in paired files intact.
