Can you not remove the temporary files that are not cached? Didn't we
used to look for miles like PREFIX.log and PREFIX.aux and clean them

Yes, we currently do that. But if an error is raised before the cleanup can
occur, then several files are left behind. If I happen to be viewing the
contents of the current directory with a modern file manager, I see all these
temporary files popping up and then disappearing. I guess there is nothing to
be done about it.
