That folder is a temporally folder used by ansible. See the following for more details
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.4/intro_configuration.html local_tmp <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.4/intro_configuration.html#id120> New in version 2.1. When Ansible gets ready to send a module to a remote machine it usually has to add a few things to the module: Some boilerplate code, the module’s parameters, and a few constants from the config file. This combination of things gets stored in a temporary file until ansible exits and cleans up after itself. The default location is a subdirectory of the user’s home directory. If you’d like to change that, you can do so by altering this setting: local_tmp = ~/.ansible/tmp Ansible will then choose a random directory name inside this location.
