With this I agree, but I don't believe that would be the case. I had a
private email from someone stating that /tmp for linux is "normally" just
that... temporary. And that the application "should" remove stuff from it
once done.

Maybe just an over site on the port of NodeJs or something else. My
software uses /tmp for the default temporary directory and I've seen cases
where if someone runs our application it will be able to create files in
this directory but not remove them, because of some authority issues.

I will probably just delete them (or move them...) and see if things
break. If they do... *ugh*.
