Does BIRT delete all these temporary images that it is creating at some point?

Hi, 
 
I am integrating BIRT into our exsisting web application and one thing I've noticed is that images in my images directory (resolved using my own implementation of IResourceLocator) are copied, with some random filename, into the (temporary?) images directory I have specified when setting the render options: 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>HTMLRenderOption htmlOps = new HTMLRenderOption();
htmlOps.setImageDirectory(anotherImagesDirectory);</pre>
 
Do these images BIRT created in the 'anotherImagesDirectory' with random filenames get deleted by BIRT at some point? It's just that it is creating an image everytime a report with an image is run (even if I refresh the report it creates a new one) and I can quickly see this filling up my hard drive. 
 
Thanks in advance.

I am also very interested in this question. Is birt managing these images (cleaning up the image directory?), or is it part of the integration to implement this?
