Multiple Temp Files are Created

In AutoCAD LT, whenever the drawing is saved it creates multiple temporary files with different names every time. This behavior is observed in the dedicated VDI and the files are saved in OneDrive, but when the files are saved in the local drive, the issue didn't reproduce. Any Suggestions in the settings of OneDrive or explorer to disable this issue.

OneDrive has a file history feature (as do most cloud services): so do modern versions of AutoCAD when such a service is used. Read all about it in HELP, here is a quick intro https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/getting-started/caas/simplecontent/content/the-drawin...
and https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2021/ENU/AutoC...

All of this is there to help you recover from many possible issues, sort of like paying for insurance when you don't need it sometimes makes no sense (but it does really). If you find it challenging, or you are running on a PC with limited disk space, or your OneDrive account does not let you sort files by file-type so you don't see the other files, visit OneDrive's HELP to turn that off, and HELP in AutoCAD to do the same.
