Can I delete the lyx_tmpdirs in the root /tmp?
I have the impression, that a rerun of lyx uses it, which I do not
want.
I use Lyx Version 2.4.0dev (not released yet)
Built from git commit hash 53ed3dc0
Qt Version (run-time): 5.15.2 on platform xcb
Qt Version (compile-time): 5.15.2
Python detected: python3 -tt

Once you have closed LyX, there should be no problem with deleting
those directories. LyX will create new ones the next time you open
it. Depending on your operating system, they are probably also
removed automatically at certain intervals. On Ubuntu and Linux
Mint, I believe the default behavior is to clear out /tmp on
shutdown or once per day if the system is left running for an
extended time.

Thanks, Paul, for these infos.

I have removed the /lyx_tmpbuf folder, but in running lyx again I get
an error reading in temporal layout information and
could not open /lyx_tmpbuf ... .tex
Will wait until tomorrow and hope the temporal files are gone.
Wolfgang
Did you close LyX before removing the folder? I just ran a test on my
system (Linux Mint, LyX 2.3.6.1). I edited and viewed a document, then
exited LyX. Before LyX shut down, it deleted the temporary directory and
all contents. When I opened LyX again, it created a new temporary
directory as expected.
