Oh, so that will make it not a "junk" file?
You are funny.
It all comes down to the definition of 'junk'-files
I guess you imposed your definition of "junk" on me, huh? Snap!
You have said nothing to prove or even indicate by evidence that you can
reliably find "junk" files (howsoever defined) only in temporary directories
(howsoever defined). In part that's because you can't.
It is true that "junk" files (howsoever defined) can reside anywhere. There
is no guarantee or even hint that they will reside only in temporary
directories (howsoever defined). You made that up.
