I think for now I'll set my Sigil temp folder outside ...\AppData\Local\Temp and see if this problem goes away after my patch reboot.

This indeed looks to be the problem. I have another long running Sigil with a different Sherlock Holmes omnibus open that I haven't touched in a couple of weeks. If I try to "Open with ..." a file, I get the following error:
Code:
Error info: C:/Users/simon/AppData/Local/Temp/Sigil-FUHGdb/book_split_139.html: The system cannot find the path specified.
And sure enough, there isn't even a Sigil-FUHGdb folder in my AppData/Local/Temp folder.
I also didn't read that previous screenshot closely enough - the 30 days was for emptying the recycle bin. I have
no idea how often Windows cleans up temporary files, but it seems that anything older than say a week is fair game.
Is the use case for keeping Sigil open for "a while" (for whatever definition of "a while" might suit) something we need to think about for temp dir settings?
Thanks to Doitsu for pointing out what could have been the problem and BR for pointing it out a bit more forcefully
