Chromedriver 109.0.5414.74 + Chrome *.75 leaves temporary files (again :_))

[Jan Hansen]

Hello Chromedriver team. Thank you for your hard work maintaining Chromedriver.

The recent Chromedriver 109.0.5414.74 + Chrome 109.0.5414.75 for Windows leaves the following temoprary files on the disk:

C:\Program files(x86)\Scoped_dir_??????

C:\Program Files\Chrome_componentUnpacker

C:\Program Files\Chrome_url_fetcher

C:\Program Files\ChromiumTemp

C:\Program Files\Chrome_BITS

I have confirmed that the 108 driver did not have this error. 

It left temp files in the %temp% directory, usually C:\users\<name>\appdata\temp (desired behaviour)

This error has popped up now and then the past 3-4 years so it should be wellknown by now :-)

Please investigate this.

Thanks, Jan Hansen

I've been dealing with issue too in our Selenium Grid, starting sometime in January. I've been managing it by scripting the deletion of those temp files in those locations daily.

Found some background about this here suggesting it is due to a security enhancement in Chromium:
