The documentation found here https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.TemporaryDirectory states the following "On completion of the context or destruction of the temporary directory object the newly created temporary directory and all its contents are removed from the filesystem." However calling del on the object does not call the cleanup method. t = tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() del t I'm not sure if that is incorrect documentation or my own misunderstanding of what you call destruction. I tested adding my own def __del__(): self.cleanup() which worked as I expected. |

Hmm, I can't recreate this locally: >>> import tempfile >>> import os >>> t = tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() >>> temp_dir = t.name >>> os.path.exists(temp_dir) True >>> del t >>> os.path.exists(temp_dir) False What version of Python are you using? |

I'm sorry, I should've thought to check my python version. I was on 3.6.3 which it would not be deleted, updated to 3.6.8 and it works as intended. |
