Looks like most links are about antivirus software or Firefox. So it does seem to be working; people are getting pointed to the buggy application code actually causing their problem and not the SQLite project itself
Thanks for this, I was wondering why people would care so much about these files that they go and complain. Reading through these forum questions, looks like most people are trying to free up disk space by clearing temp files, but the SQLite ones can't be deleted - because they are in use and locked - which causes confusion.
Several lifetimes ago I was looking at a Solaris server with very limited available space on the root partition and realized that someone had deleted the kernel file, presumably trying to solve the same problem.

Ah, the era of people deleting random files on their computer that they "don't use"
From their temp folder, which is completely reasonable.

I really hope it wasn’t me.
