Comments.Text: What types of files exist inside of those 10 random character folder names? Images? The only place I can see in Craft that writes a random folder to the `storage/runtime/temp` folder is when restoring a database backup.

Comments.Text: @DanLee as an aside, I'd recommend running some sort of [daily cron script](https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/tech-tip-send-email-alert-when-your-disk-space-gets-low) which alerts you if disk is getting low... say 80% full so your server doesn't accidentally go down again.

  Since updating Craft CMS to the latest version I noticed that our uploaded files get backed-up daily to temporary storage. Uploaded files live on DigitalOcean Spaces so we have no need to back up these files to the same server Craft CMS resides on.
  
  * Files are stored on the following path: `storage/runtime/temp/tfxrsolmuf/images`
  * This caused us to go over our allotted disk space and cause the server to go down
  * The backup is happening daily
  * Using Craft 3.6.10
  * We use the DigitalOcean spaces volume plugin

  We have isolated the issue to a crone job connected with the Remote Backup Plugin for Craft.
  
  Commenting out the following stops the daily backup.
  
  ```
  # /home/forge/www.example.com/craft remote-backup/volume/create
  # /home/forge/www.example.com/craft remote-backup/volume/prune
  
  ```
  
  I think there is an issue with trying to connect to the remote storage location.
