[SOLVED] Skype folders keep showing up in my /tmp directory

In my /tmp directory, I keep seeing what appear to be empty Skype folders.

Like...

/tmp/skype-156329/
/tmp/skype-<random number>/

Under my main logged in user with drwx------ permissions under my main "users" group.

My /tmp is drwxrwxrwt root:root

I know Skype is a pretty nasty program.  Do I have some sort of virus action and or rootkit happening, or could it be like... OSS or MS Teams Preview that I have to use for work.

Let me know if any other info would help.

Why do you think this is a problem, or even unusual?

Because I don't have Skype installed and it keeps making these folders.  However... I just realized it's Microsoft Teams creating this folder.  They have some Skype feature.  Figured it out!
