/var/tmp/ full of 'container_images_storageXXXXX*
Hiya,
This keeps happening to me and I know what is happening. Basically I'll get a KDE notification about "You are running out of disk space", much like this GH repo [You are running out of disk space] (https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/2840). So I check /var/temp/ and its filled with loads of folders called:
container_images_storageXXXXX
, the X's being numbers. Each folder has three files: named "1", "2" and "3". After a while, maybe 20 mins, the files are removed by themselves somehow.107 Replies

There are about 400 of these folders
I'm assuming its related to some podman activity?
and it happened again

Have u tried the ujust clean-system command?
It's probably trying to move the files to the trash folder and failing. What happens if you shift+delete the files?
Even if I do get to delete the files, they will come back after a while; like it did today.

I will now :)
So I did that yesterday, and cleaned out the tmp folder, but all the files are back again today :<
podman info
suggests one line saying "imageCopyTmpDir: /var/tmp", that must be it?
Is this from the distrobox i set up with boxboddy maybe?Yes
I have removed all distroboxes now, but the folders keep appearing :<

they fill up slowly but surely, until all of my SSD space has been eaten up
I really dont understand what is causing this, i really only use bazzite for browsing and gaming
check both toolbox and podman too (podman being the backend for toolbox and distrobox)
podman ps --all
also might be worth checking journalctl -xe
and see if there is any clues there![No description](https://cdn.answeroverflow.com/1237330929475653653/image.png)
journalctl seems to be highly cluttered with some plasmashell issue im not familiar with what being either;
