Temporary files/folders created with Statistics is not automatically deleted when the application is closed

Question & Answer


Question

I am working with IBM SPSS Statistics and I continue to see temporary files and folders created by SPSS in the folder for temporary file locations that I have set in Edit/Options/File Locations tab within SPSS. I noticed these items are not deleted by SPSS. Why is that? Why are these files/folders not automatically deleted by SPSS?
