I am the author of the [original 2013 post](https://forums.plex.tv/t/credits-detection-leaves-behind-large-folders-in-tmp/856484). I cannot reproduce this with latest Plex Media Server 1.41.4.9463

```auto
root@plex:~# du -sh /tmp/
7.2M	/tmp/

root@plex:~# ls /tmp/ | grep PlexCreditsDetection

```

Note that in my setup, `/tmp` is not `tmpfs` mounted, only `/transcode`, like this `--mount type=tmpfs,dst=/transcode,tmpfs-size=32G,tmpfs-mode=1777`

Did you try mounting `/tmp` without `tmpfs` and see if anything changes? Incorrect permissions come to mind for your `/tmp` mount.
