Just installed the latest rolling and noticed about 10-15 folders under /home named tacacsxx (xx denotes an incrementing number).
owner is listed as a pid, and the group is tacacs.
Not sure this before, is there a reason for this folder structure to be there? I deleted them all and seemingly with no adverse effect.

I see them too without any tacacs section in my configs, using VyOS 1.4-rolling-202307250317:
