MethodRule

public class TemporaryFolder
extends ExternalResource

The TemporaryFolder Rule allows creation of files and folders that are guaranteed to be deleted when the test method finishes (whether it passes or fails):

 public static class HasTempFolder {
        @Rule
        public TemporaryFolder folder= new TemporaryFolder();
 
        @Test
        public void testUsingTempFolder() throws IOException {
                File createdFile= folder.newFile("myfile.txt");
                File createdFolder= folder.newFolder("subfolder");
                // ...
        }
 }
