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.
Ah, the era of people deleting random files on their computer that they "don't use"
From their temp folder, which is completely reasonable.
while I sneer at the unwashed masses clearing temp stuff by hand in 2024, I'm in the same boat trying to declutter stuff in my Mozilla/Thunderbird profiles :( ...
Doesn't the built in Windows disk space cleanup app actually clear temp as well?

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.
I really hope it wasn’t me.
