Most of these tmp files will clear themselves out automatically when you close the program, or finish the print job. But sometimes they remain in the tmp folder. If enough accumulate over time you could end up with a lot of space occupied by these files. Clearing them out once in a blue moon won't hurt, and can help.

The next seasonal blue moon will occur on August 19, 2024. So, put it on your calendar and don't forget to clear out your temporary files.
