Dism Host Servicing Process (DismHost.exe), a Malware?
Don't discount this quickly. It is an option for you that is not presented in this thread. It's just a theory. But it may be real. Look into it.

The thing is I'd need to execute it that way every time I want to clean the disk because there are files that can not be deleted the regular way. It is a workaround while I'm curious how to fix the issue itself.

I noticed something peculiar, the aforementioned undeletable folders are created when I clean the temp files via Settings but not when I use Disk Cleanup. Not sure why.

Is anyone else noticing these folders popping up in the temp folder when cleaning temp files the disk via Settings -> System -> Storage?

The date and time stamp these folders are created on is exactly the moment I you've cleaned the temp files via Settings.

Odd isnt it that you clean the temp folder only to have Windows create folders inside the temp folder after..lol. I get those as well however they are always empty folders, so Im not understanding the point of them either.
