What an arrogant statement!  I never did any such thing!

Oh, so that will make it not a "junk" file?

You are funny.

I guess you imposed your definition of "junk" on me, huh?  Snap!

You have said nothing to prove or even indicate by evidence that you can 
reliably find "junk" files (howsoever defined) only in temporary directories 
(howsoever defined).  In part that's because you can't.

It is true that "junk" files (howsoever defined) can reside anywhere.  There 
is no guarantee or even hint that they will reside only in temporary 
directories (howsoever defined).  You made that up.
