                          I am running some programs on both Debian and Fedora. When I ls the /tmp directory, I see many directories with extremely long name like

    systemd-private-d85027...-bluetooth.service-qxzMGm
    systemd-private-d85027...-chronyd.service-vSzXdP
    systemd-private-d85027...-colord.service-LvpIL2
    systemd-private-d85027...-fwupd.service-cbpodH
    systemd-private-d85027...-httpd.service-rJIaIX

It seems to be related to PrivateTmp, but how can I remove them or move them to a less distracting location? (e.g. from /tmp/systemd-... to /tmp/.systemd-...) I want to try not to change the PrivateTmp option for every service.
