[JENKINS-74916] @tmp folder contains durable folders after the Job completes

[jenkins-infra-bot]

In some of our Jobs, after the Job completes, under the @​tmp folder contain a folder called durable- whihc contains empty file- jenkins-log.txt

The problem is that after 3 running, when we activate that job for the 4 time- we get failures like-

 java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=267, The directory name is invalid

We don't know why there are leftovers under the @​tmp folder at the end of the job running, but would like to see how to resolve it, or how can we use the CleanWS for the @​tmp folder as well
