IMO temp folders (user and system) belong to Windows. MS may have smuggled in a 'Dynamic cleanup of temporary folders based on Last Used date' feature into a Windows patch release and forgot to tell anyone.

I suggest the OP gives Sigil a dedicated temporary folder as per Doitsu's instructions.

Added : an EPUB isn't a file when it's being edited, its a structured collection of linked files in a directory - but an OS doesn't know that, it just sees a bunch of files in sub folder in a location it 'manages' as it pleases.
