So the input folder is used by server to store source copies of the services that you publish from a registered data-store location, e.g. from a file gdb in a registered folder or an sde connection registered as a database in the server data store.  Its just the way it works, server needs copies of the source documents in the directories it needs them in:   The domain arcgisserver system account handles all writes to the input folder when you publish or overwrite a service, not users.  When you delete a map service, the service's input folder and subfolders should be deleted as well.  If the input service name folder and subfolders do not delete when you delete a map, image or gp service, then you have or had other problems, probably related to sharing, where the arcgis server domain account could not fully access all the directories. If you have an 'orphan' directory, make sure the reference is no longer in the portal content (if you are federated) before deleting it manually. There should be no cleanup mode set on the input folder.  For the output folder, all files created by the arcgis server service account (via the REST endpoint are cleared out by the time set, usually 10 minutes.  What I have found is files in the output directory that are not auto-cleaned are lyr files created by SOAP when someone at sometime connected to a service in ArcMap.    Hope this helps- David Coley Sarasota County GIS ...

Yes @KelliW if you google "Survey 123 Trees in California", random publicly shared survey 123 apps will show up, and if the survey is open or accepting submissions, you can access it. I just did that myself. Or, if just going to arcgis.com and performing a search using the same terms you will see some survey forms in the results.  There are webhook ways to be notified when someone submits a record, but I am not sure if there is a webhhook method that will notify you if someone simply opens the survey in a browser. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/browser/create-surveys/webhooks.htm From the Survey123 website>Collaborate>Survey status, you can set web-based surveys to be Open or Closed or set to only accept results during a set time window, but that method is not available to the field app. ...
