Description

On Windows, my temporary directory contains almost 3 GB worth of KaybaseUpdater.xyz directories. If these are necessary, the TEMP directory is probably not where they should be, if they aren't, then whay are they not removed after the update?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the KeybaseUpdater behavior on Windows and inspect how its temporary directories are created and removed. Confirm whether the .xyz directories are required during updates and define done as preventing unnecessary accumulation in TEMP or cleaning them up after the update.
