i guess I never normally close it - I have the PC sleep, not shut-down & I have calibre "close" to system tray.

so they build up over time, I close it only to do program updates.

It's no big deal - I probably have other things that wipe all temp files over a certain age which get run regularly.

but wiping temp files after a conversion ends rather than only when program is closed may be better housekeeping ?

and clearing old temp folders when program first starts would take care of stuff left by previous crashes or forces shutdowns.

PS nitpicking even more! - I think it removes files but leaves temp empty folders

I did zap calibre with task manager a couple of times in the last few days, when I overloaded it & sigil, playing with pdf conversions after 7.42 release, so that would have boosted the number of stray temp files I guess. there was I think 156MB of calibre temp file space, and 4 x 25,000 individual files in local temp folders
