What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS with Jenkins running in the official Docker container.

Reproduction steps

If I run the following command to start a new job:
curl -v -X POST --user $USER:$TOKEN "https://jenkins01.company.com/job/JobName/buildWithParameters"
A temporary folder called jenkins-stapler-uploads is created in /tmp/ and this folder is not being removed again.
Our procedure is to start jobs with files attached, which are also contained in the stapler-uploads files.
We usually attach 10-100MB files which means that the system runs out of storage over time.

Expected Results

That the temporary folders are removed when not needed anymore or periodically after some time.

Actual Results

The jenkins-stapler-uploads files are never removed.

Anything else?

Asked question about this issue here, before opening issue:
https://community.jenkins.io/t/temporary-stapler-folder-not-being-removed/25946

Quick reference to where the files are created:

stapler/core/src/main/java/org/kohsuke/stapler/RequestImpl.java

Line 1175 in 78e497c

tmpDir = Files.createTempDirectory("jenkins-stapler-uploads").toFile();

Are you interested in contributing a fix?

No
