Temporary directory is not removed when remove_temp_dir_on_exit = True

I set the parameter "remove_temp_dir_on_exit" but it seems doesn't work.
I checked the temporary directory. It's still there.
This is my code.

from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl

mapdl = launch_mapdl(jobname="job_1", override=True, remove_temp_dir_on_exit=True)

mapdl.finish()
mapdl.clear()

l = 60
w = 10
h = 6
mapdl.prep7()
mapdl.block(0, l, -w / 2, w / 2, -h / 2, h / 2)
mapdl.finish()

Does anyone know why?

@germa89 happens on MS Windows 10, PyMAPDL 0.68.1, Python 3.10 too.

Thank you @mikerife I was forgetting the ansys_ on the tmp dir name.

Reminder

Only directories on the OS system temporary directory starting with ansys_ are deleted.

It seems I didn't fix it properly :(
