That just looks like a normal .tmp folder to me, have you checked the size of the folder and what makes you think it's related to Photoshop


no, I have moved the temp files for Photoshop to another driver when I've installed the app  the first time.

(This is just an example of what I get because I previously deleted the files and their size was very large).

Also, the previous files were not saved on this driver and were never in this format. This file only started appearing after the latest update to the application (v25.0)
Also within this folder, the app adds an image inside it for each image that I export.

@30857060 how exactly are you exporting the images, I've tested all the export options and not seeing the issue here with Photoshop 25.1 on Windows 10
