Calibre Temporary Directory
While tracking down some 'lost' disk space, I just noticed quite a few older sessions in my CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR taking up close to gig:

Click image for larger version Name: 2022-03-05 22_32_07-D__Temporary_Calibre_temp - XYplorer 21.20.0100.png Views: 213 Size: 30.5 KB ID: 192590

1. Why does this happen? I'm suspecting from unexpected shutdowns (either Calibre or system; one of the dates I recognize as a power outage).

2. Is it safe to clear out older sessions while Calibre is running? I was thinking of making a scheduled task to empty out the folder contents every few days.

Yes-ish

I get some, but far fewer than I used to get, almost always empty. If it can, get XYplorer to display what xplorer² calls Contents, Windows has something called File Count but it doesn't work Ψ³

I clear them out in my weekly housekeeping job on Sunday evening, I don't have calibre or any other applications else running when it runs.

Yes you can delete calibre termp dir files when the calibre corresponding to it is not running. Just be sure to not delete the one belonging to the current calibre.
