 ### Bug Fixes
 * Delete an empty WAL file on DB open if the log number is less than the min log number to keep
+* Delete temp OPTIONS file on DB open if there is a failure to write it out or rename it
 
 ### Performance Improvements
 * Improved the I/O efficiency of prefetching SST metadata by recording more information in the DB manifest. Opening files written with previous versions will still rely on heuristics for how much to prefetch (#11406).
