I have noticed that ImageMagick creates files in the systemâs âtempâ directory. They usually look like this âmagick-uhlp2137â. Is it expected that the system will get rid of these files? I see these files on Windows XP, but not on Solaris.

ImageMagick can create temporary files for a variety of reasons such as caching pixels to disk. ImageMagick removes these files when it exits normally or when it catches a signal. Some folks have suggested that not all files are removed under certain circumstances but no one has offered a way for us to reproduce the problem. In the mean-time feel free to remove these files manually.
