Please make a forum post in the Other Apps called "[Bug] Foxit 5.3.0 Rev 2 leaves files behind" and include more information like your OS, install location and what was done within Foxit to create that directory (opening a file, saving something, etc). I don't recall seeing this in our testing, so this could be tied to a specific function.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
