PAW view download remnants cluttering data folder

    I have noticed that the Data folder fills up with what appears to be temporary files created when you extract a view from PAW.
    There are always 2 .blb files - one for progress and the other which is the zip file containing the spreadsheet being retrieved.

    Why do these files remain even when the progress file says:
    {"TotalWork":1.0,"Worked":1.0,"IsComplete":true}

    Is there a setting somewhere to have these cleaned/maintained periodically e.g. each night?

    Is it possible to send these work files and possible others to a separate folder away from the Data folder?

    Anything else that needs to be known about these files/process?

    Thank you.

    This is a sample for clarification but my folder contains many more:

    Hi George,

    Is it possible to capture an ODATA API trace on the TM1 Server when running the view export in PAW (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/planning-analytics-server-logging-odataplanning-analytics-workspace)?  This should help us understand what has gone wrong.

    Can you confirm if the export from the PAW cube viewer is working successfully?
