Several files in the TMP folder

One of my websites installed on my KeyHelp is filling up the “tmp” folder, which is outside the “www” folder. In a short time, it reaches 2GB of various files similar to this one: “magick-_FCzN8xKQyVrFOlp7oNAtWu296e9FTZQ.” I have already analyzed the website files, but so far I have not been able to solve this mystery.

Could someone help me?

Thanks.

They seems to be temporary files of some kind of image generation coming from the PHP image generation extension (ImageMagick).

KeyHelp may help to keep the folder clean, have a look at
KeyHelp Admin Area -> Maintenance Intervals -> Perform cleanup operations
and the corresponding configuration settings (click on the cog icon)

A bit outdated but have a look at the second post: https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues/395
You may can fix the issue by increasing the memory_limit of the particular user
