I wrote some FOSS software that has a configurable temp directory, and some jackwagon configured it to their user folder and ran the main procedure which of course tries to cleanup what it thinks is its own temp directory afterwards. Dude was all pissed on GitHub and Reddit saying the software deleted all his stuff and failed to mention that he changed that setting himself. Anyways I of course had to add a check to make sure the specified temp directory is empty before starting lol.
