  • Maybe you can check [this](https://serverfault.com/questions/377348/when-does-tmp-get-cleared) Some system will delete temp dir after reboot. – Ziv May 24 '23 at 14:18
  • Please add a minimal reproducible example as explained in the help center page: http://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example. It is not clear how the application is creating and using the file. – aled May 24 '23 at 14:23
  • Create off (system property) `user.home` – g00se May 24 '23 at 14:26

Try to point the folder to your user default folder like /home/userName/yourAppName .

you can get this path using echo $HOME at your unix terminal
