Log files are handled how?

Burp Suite creates temporary files when it is opened. These files are deleted once the work is done. Does someone know what logging is made when en when it is deleted.

Temporary files are used to store potentially large items to avoid putting them in memory. When you create a temporary Burp project, temporary files are used for all request/response buffers that Burp accumulates (in the Proxy history, scan issues, etc.). When you create an on-disk project, these buffers are held in the project file, and temporary files are only used for occasional items that Burp wants to persist.
