I am using the following statement regularly:

And there are the following files accumulating in the /tmp directory.
Why does this happen and how can I stop it?

First, please compose a new email when starting a new thread/subject
(instead of replying to another one on a different subject)--replying as
you did messes up threaded mail readers.
Anyway, it appears that tshark won't delete the temporary file when
using the autostop feature. I took a quick look and couldn't figure out
why. I'd suggest you open a bug so this doesn't get lost:
