Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue after normal Docker Scout use and inspect the Docker Scout folder under AppData\Local\Temp. Determine which operation creates the temporary files and whether they are removed afterward. Done means the temporary directory no longer grows without bound and the behavior is verified on the affected Docker Desktop setup.

Description
