pyinstaller/pyinstaller#2379

I had the same issue with a program I was writing in Python 3.10 (being pyinstaller v.5.9.0 the most recent suggested by PyCharm), so I did some improvement to a suggestion that was given in the topic above (https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/2379#issuecomment-606631340).

I actually noticed that the number after the "_MEI" prefix (after removing the last digit) is the PID of the launched Python process (i.e. in "_MEI180922", the process PID is 18092) I could write a routine allowing to remove all the _MEI* temp directories not belonging to any running instance of pyinstaller.

The routine is working on Windows, unfortunately I have no way to try it with Linux; Hope this can be useful to someone, until the fix will be available.

Best regards, Max
