applicationHost.xdt and applicationHost.config file disappear even if Transform logs exist.

[Yutaro]

Hi Team,
Is there any possiblity Kudu platform erace applicationHost.xdt / applicationHost.config after some time etc? (I suspect there was some explicit user operation to erase those)

Backgroud:
My customer is confusing about the situation above.

Based on the below guidance, Previously customer placed applicationHost.xdt file for transform and transform logs were generated under LogFiles/Transform.
https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Azure-Site-Extensions#top-level-private-extension

But on the other day when they check those again, applicationHost.xdt and applicationHost.config under %TMP% disappeared but transform logs exists as it is.

Let's focus on files being removed first. Kudu won't remove files - unless user explicit action, either thru deployment or plain old Debug Console and delete file. We would suggest to try to narrow the time down (wait for it to repro again). It might reveal more clues.
