Description

When the test suite is run, sometimes several GB's of is consumed and not deleted.

Here are two possible approaches
1) Move tmp dir deletion to a finally clause in tests
2) Ensure that all tmp dir stuff into on directory that is blown away
at the beginning of another test run. (Or at the end of a successful
