Temporary files not removed

Description

Similar to #2588, on RetroArch Android the /storage/emulated/0/temp directory is used by RetroArch to load files. Unfortunately, closing RetroArch does not delete that directory.

Expected behavior

I expect the /storage/emulated/0/temp to be emptied when I close RA

Actual behavior

Files stay in /storage/emulated/0/temp

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Load game
  2. Close game
  3. Game is still stored in /storage/emulated/0/temp

Version/Commit

  • RetroArch: 1.7.7

Environment information

  • OS: Android 8 Nvidia SHIELD TV

I would guess this is a permissions issue, but I don't know how to handle that with android.

Any progress on this? I am still having the issue

From #2588 If you are at Linux, change the Settings Tab --> Directory --> Cache Dir to /tmp
