Management of %temp% regarding to workflows

[Markus2]

There is an Alteryx-specific "environment" variable called %temp%, which apparently refers to a subfolder "Engine ...." of the standard temp folder of the OS:

How this temporary folder managed? In particular, can it be excluded that several workflows share one common temporary folder?

I think all the information you need is in the link posted below,

When a workflow or Analytic App is run, a new folder is created: C:\ProgramData\Alteryx\Engine\Engine_7336_31d79603f1024c3f9706faf2d5fc8ef8_. All temp files for that particular workflow are saved in this folder. At the end of the run, the files and directory are deleted.
