related to #14517 . The Geoprocessing Toolbox tries to run algorithms with the settings "1" or "0" each time the search of the toolbox is used, resulting in a null byte output.

May be, but it's not necessarily linked .
not the same directory as # 14517

The issue in #14517 leaves the "1" file in whatever directory QGIS is started from, whenever the toolbox is used (In the other bug thread I just started qgis from a strange location, but I checked for the offending files and they're in every directory recently used with qgis)
Could you delete the file while QGIS is running, use the toolbox (just typing a letter in the search) and check if it reappears? If so, it's probably the same bug, which seems to be fixed for the next version.

You are right.
the file will appear when you type a letter in the search, but also leaving qgis without using the Toolbox.
