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?

You can add apache commons io dependency to your project and then use FileUtils.deleteDirectory() to do something like:

Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        try {
            FileUtils.deleteDirectory(tmp_dir_path.toFile());
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
});
