@KRTirtho this issue should be quite easy solvable i hope you address it since its quite annoying
at least please make a . dot or so in front of the file so it is hidden within the documents folder

I'd suggest another fix: use the $XDG_CACHE_DIR environment variable. As the problem seems linux-specific, the solution should be one too. If the env var isn't set, then fallback could be $HOME/.cache. Please don't put anything in Documents.
