Elasticsearch Version

8.6

OS Version

Linux

Problem Description

In the docs at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/executable-jna-tmpdir.html, we discuss the JNA temp (tmp) files generated by Elasticsearch. However, it is not clear how to clean them up. Since Elasticsearch does not clean them up, we expect that the system does it, for example, via tmpf. We should add this to the documentation so users know how to avoid temp files piling up.
