How to Move a TMP on Linux
Linux systems store temporary files in the TMP directory and delete them when no longer needed. If you want to move them, you can do so by using the graphical user interface to move most of them to a different location. However, some folders and files are locked and you need root access to move the files. You need to use the Terminal for this.
