Windows 10: Storage Sense configuration for deleting temporary files

Storage Sense is doing its work silently and has an option to "Delete temporary files that my apps aren't using". What does that mean in more detail?
Can it silently remove files from "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp"?
If so, based on what conditions? Not opened for x hours?


The reason I ask is that our application seems to sometime loose files in that location after an hour or two. At least that is what logs from the customers are indicating.

not deleted temporary files

When you go to storage sense, temporary files and select delete, it says it will delete
'temporary files that are not in use'.

It does not say it will delete all temporary files.

 

Temporary file

Increasing Temorary File Storage

I went to the link in Francis 96 reply. I had already been there and done that. The increase in storage, as Francis noted, has occurred since this summer. I have no photos on the phone. I deleted all the games and most of the apps that came with the phone.
Aside from the app from the Carrier, I've not downloaded any other apps. I have Word and Excel files. But, these are not temporary files and are accounted for in storage sense in another classification. I keep Data Sense setting on High.

So, should I assume that the Temporary Files (wouldn't it be great if I could get a list of these!) will keep expanding?

Prior to the last update the Temporary Files would decrease in real numbers, not just the rate of increase. Buying more storage as the link suggests does not make sense. Why can't the Temporary Files be deleted and I delete them?
