Shell – Linux + files & folders cleanup under /tmp

On all my Red Hat Linux machines version 7.2 we saw that systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service is inactive:

systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service
● systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service - Cleanup of Temporary Directories
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead) since Wed 2018-12-19 14:47:14 UTC; 12min ago
     Docs: man:tmpfiles.d(5)
           man:systemd-tmpfiles(8)
  Process: 34231 ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles --clean (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
 Main PID: 34231 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Dec 19 14:47:14 master02.uridns.com systemd[1]: Started Cleanup of Temporary Directories.

It is strange that we saw the files and folders under /tmp,
and it seems that cleanup is performed every some time.

I searched on crontab or cronjob, but I did not find other cleanup jobs.

Am I missing something here?

Is it possible that in spite of the service being inactive, the cleanup is performed every couple of weeks?

  systemctl enable  systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service

The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled
using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
   .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
   a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
   D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).

We also saw a few folders that were real old, as
