Many applications that use some directory in /tmp leave directories
there. It should be cleaned up by system on next run.
If users can customize directory place they could use all kinds of
parent directory names
And if directory should be deleted, then such should be checked not to
contain any other file that could be placed in directory.
Recently when running debugging various .heap and mtrace files are all
over the system. If directory is inspected by Emacs under debugging,
some files would be placed there automatically.
