This is the autosave draft, it's not windows specific.
Are they supposed to remain after closing the Drawio desktop?
Yes, we had some issues with empty files written, so this is used as a backup. Is this is a frequency of write issue because of disk damage?
I'm on windows and also see this behavior.
It's annoying because the .drawio.bkp
file gets left behind when draw.io is closed. You end up with 2 files for every document.
I would expect this file to be deleted when draw.io is closed. And while draw.io it is still open the file should either have the hidden attribute or be saved in another location. Maybe saving it in another location would defeat the purpose though.

Don't know if this is to me (OP)? Not sure I fully follow the question... No disk damage that I am aware of. It's a filesystem hygiene issue for me. Nothing mission critical, but would prefer not to have the clutter on the fs.

This is also what i want to say ~
Same here. An option to turn this behaviour off would be nice to have. I've never experienced empty files being written but the autosave files accumulating is very annoying.

I store some .drawio
files in my OneDrive, having .drawio.bkp
files continously created and synced to the cloud seems unneccessary.
An option to redirect those temp / backup files to a different folder would be great. Like %LOCALAPPDATA%\Diagrams\Temp
maybe?
Or to delete the .drawio.bkp
file if the project was saved successfully (or has no unsaved changes)
setting Extras->Drafts 0 (0 to disable) solved the problem for me.
