It is a non-system process on Windows. It is not a core file for Windows that means it is not required for the operating system to run. A temporary directory or temporary folder holds temporary files. Some programs and several operating systems delete the contents of a temporary directory automatically upon boot up or during regular intervals. This is to reduce the amount of space used in a storage [usually a disk drive]. It is ideal for every user to have his or her own temporary directory due to history of vulnerability in terms of security with temporary files caused by race conditions or incorrect file permissions of some programs.
