Temp folder eats up disk space when syncing to an external device. [#13498]

Hi,
I just noticed that Media Monkey does store a lot of files in the App Data\Local\Temp folder when I sync and convert a set of songs to an external device. This can be a problem when you sync a few thousand files and have not so much disk space remaining.
Yesterday, after approx. 5000 files, the temp folder had extended to the 50GB of free storage that were remaining on my system drive until I decided to stop the syncing process and close Media Monkey (which gave the disc space back). Now I have a syncing process running with 3600 files already processed and the temp folder is back at 30GB
I don't know what exactly these temporary files are needed for, but do you think they can be deleted immediately after they have done their job? Or are they actually needed until the syncing process is completely finished?
