In my home directory, I have lots of these ./.bash_history-[xxxxx].tmp files. Why?
./.bash_history-02865.tmp
./.bash_history-24895.tmp
./.bash_history-51442.tmp
./.bash_history-03847.tmp
./.bash_history-37643.tmp
./.bash_history-24872.tmp
./.bash_history-53376.tmp
./.bash_history-04725.tmp
./.bash_history-14612.tmp
./.bash_history-35739.tmp
./.bash_history-26709.tmp
./.bash_history-39963.tmp
./.bash_history-04611.tmp
./.bash_history-44124.tmp
./.bash_history-07238.tmp
./.bash_history-51292.tmp
./.bash_history-16780.tmp
./.bash_history-15855.tmp
./.bash_history-41194.tmp
./.bash_history-37322.tmp
./.bash_history-36114.tmp
./.bash_history-22629.tmp
./.bash_history-50584.tmp
./.bash_history-38343.tmp
./.bash_history-02413.tmp
./.bash_history-03914.tmp
./.bash_history-60707.tmp
Some of the files are empty. Others are very clearly bash history. My .bashrc shows HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE. I see no HISTFILE.
I use xfce4-terminal, version 1.1.3. Xubuntu 24.04.2 LTS.
