Phpxxxx.tmp file not getting deleted in Windows/temp folder

Question

When I call API(get, patch etc) tmp file will be created and is not getting deleted in Windows/temp folder. Every 5 min it increases by 2k -3k and not getting deleted. Currently there are 65k temp file which are not deleted by server.

I cannot say it's because of API and the reason is few file size is 0kb and few contains API call details.

Kindly help me in this.

Windows never automatically cleans the %TEMP% directory by default. Consider replacing your temporary files inside a subdirectory in the temp folder, and updating your code to purge old items.

Developers using temporary files are expected to clean up after themselves.

You mean we need to write a separate code inorder to delete the tmp file present in temp folder of window?? – Das Jul 26 '19 at 05:15
Starting with Windows 10 and Storage Sense, this is no longer correct: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63848110/67824 – Ohad Schneider Sep 11 '20 at 13:55
