Does Files.createTempDirectory remove the directory after JVM exits normally?

Question

Does Files.createTempDirectory remove the directory after JVM exits normally? Or do I need to manually recursively remove the temporary directory content?

Answer 1

As per the API, no it doesn't, you need to manually remove the directory, using file.deleteOnExit() method.

As with the createTempFile methods, this method is only part of a temporary-file facility. A shutdown-hook, or the File.deleteOnExit() mechanism may be used to delete the directory automatically.
