My view with Windows is that if you don't know what you are doing then leave it alone! Microsoft are quite able to break their OS without my intervention.

IMO, Windows 10 has been broken since its inception... and each iteration has never fixed the stability of Windows 7... just mucks it up even more, every single CU.
Ah well, we all must make the best of what is offered.

Good news, my guess is, as someone else has said, whatever is creating them will just keep doing it.

You can keep deleting them using a script run by Task Scheduler.

All temp folders are empty. Going to delete them to see what happens.

I've tried without success to find those "two provisioning tasks run at logon." Can you steer me in the right direction?The folders are created by two 'provisioning' tasks run at logon, executed using provtool.exe.
You can either disable the tasks or just delete the folders. I've been doing the former on my own devices and the latter on my family and friends' devices with no harmful effects for nearly two years now.

Bleepingcomputer has a report that a Windows Defender's bug is generating hundreds to thousands of temp files that can be safely deleted: Windows Defender bug fills Windows 10 boot drive with thousands of files
Although on the second read, this may not apply at all, I don't really know.
