InDesign 2023 18.0 /Users/user/Library/Application Support/Adobe InDesign/Version 18.0/en_US/InDesign Recovery/ filling up with DBTmp files
We have an automated process using InDesign to export the XML out of a .indd files. We are experiencing a scenario where InDesign is leaving behind numerous DBTmp files in /Users/user/Library/Application Support/Adobe InDesign/Version 18.0/en_US/InDesign Recovery/ to the point that our Mac is filling up a 500 Gig SSD. These files do not clean up after Quitting InDesign, a Reboot, attempting the Reset InDesign Preferences Shift-Control-Option-Command startup of InDesign. These files are also locked. In our scenario, we hit 119,000 files or so and InDesign just quit working due to the drive being full. I have attached a list of the files to this request

This continues to be a persistent issue with InDesign 2024 version 19.3. The following path continues to fill with numerous DBTmp files which do not clean themselves up. Eventually the local storage fills up and this causes InDesign to crash until the directory is cleaned up. /Users/user/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version 19.0/en_US/InDesign Recovery
It seems every time we open an InDesign file, a DBTmp file is created here. In our test suite we processed 14,000+ files until the drive was filled up and InDesign crashed. Afterwards InDesign would not relaunch until the files were manually cleaned up. With about 50 megabytes free on the internal storage, this impacts not just the Adobe product that caused the issue, but any other running processes on the computer.
