I'm using Calibre 6.11 on Mac 10.15 Intel laptop (legacy, non-subscription software issues). I recently lost a lot of HD space and found a hidden folder under private/var/folders/... with Calibre folders with names like "calibre_6.8.0_tmp_tgff7h84" or "calibre_6.11.0_tmp_3zdgl94z". There are almost 10GB of .pdf files scattered throughout these folders somewhat randomly. Can, and if yes, how can these be deleted? My Calibre library is entirely on an external drive and the Calibre library on the Mac itself is empty/not used ever.
