Describe the Bug

I am working with Payload V3 in development mode. I am on Windows.

After some days of development I noticed my Windows login speed getting slower and slower. It took my login speed from 1 second to 30 seconds to 2 minutes!

After some research this is caused by a huge number of files in my %TMP% directory. It turns out Payload is creating an insane amount of files in the %TMP% directory as you work with it in dev mode.

I have 900k files created by payload in a directory called tsx-Mo where Mo is my user profile name. All files are a few kb in size each but add up to be gigabytes in total file size due to sheer number of files.

Example of files created:

Reproduction Steps

1. Setup Payload v3 project
2. Start dev mode yarn dev and work with it for some itme
3. Notice the build up of files in %TMP%
4. Windows login process will become slower and slower as the files build up.
