[QGIS-Developer] Temporary folders for processing

[Andreas Neumann]

Thanks Nathan and Alex.  

My follow-up question is: when are these temporary files
cleaned/removed? I assume after the process finished - but what happens
if QGIS crashes wile processing is running? Will QGIS clean up the old
temporary files when it is started the next time? 

Thanks, 

Andreas

I know that there is a setting for default output files (defaults on Windows to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles\profilename\processing\outputs - but is this really the same location where also temporary files that are needed during the processing are stored?
