temporary files showing up in programdata/alteryx/gallery directory

For some reason occasionally, we get some temporary files showing up in the programdata/alteryx/gallery directory on the server. 

 

These files look like _axc_0a4vah3xp. They always start with _axc_ and end with a random string. They are workflow packages and if you open them they are packaged versions of workflows that are running on schedule on the gallery. 

 

So it's like the gallery is unzipping the workflow packages here instead of where they are supposed to unzip and then they get left here becuase the automatic clean up routine doesn't know to clean this folder. 

 

Anyone know why some packages would show up in this directory instead of where they are supposed to be?

When calling the /v3/workflows/{workflowId}/package endpoint, the temporary file stored on Server following pattern "_axc_****.yxzp" is not deleted.
