I believe you may be referring to the temp directory used for, for
example, a place to put SSTable files which are created as a part of
streaming?

I presume, that like other directories used by Cassandra, it was
created by a best-faith effort from Cassandra to ensure that all
relevant directories exist.

You'll need to provide some more information. Is it under / or under something else? What was in it?

These are the yaml settings that control where cassandra stores data...

# directories where Cassandra should store data on disk.
data_file_directories:
    - /var/lib/cassandra/data

# commit log
commitlog_directory: /var/lib/cassandra/commitlog

# saved caches
saved_caches_directory: /var/lib/cassandra/saved_caches
