wp-includes/update.php:1156
{{{#!php
ob_start();
$credentials = request_filesystem_credentials( '' );
ob_end_clean();
if ( false === $credentials || ! WP_Filesystem( $credentials ) ) {
wp_trigger_error( __FUNCTION__, __( 'Could not access filesystem.'
) );
return;
}
}}}
If request_filesystem_credentials() evaluates that the type == 'direct',
it return boolean of true, therefore the condition `! WP_Filesystem(
$credentials ) ` is met and the upgrade-temp-backup dir never gets emptied
