Windows 10: Temp folder fills up C drive wiith errors. I had 41 thousand reports taking up 68Gbs most...

I've been having this issue for at least two months I noticed my drive kept shrinking in space so I moved a lot to other drives and deleted a lot too. Altogether I removed 68 Gbs from my C drive. 4 days ago now I noticed my C drive had 0 bytes remaining, I thought it was just windows updates till this point. or possibly a virus I kept making space and It wasn't until yesterday that i found the culprit thanks to TreeSize which I learned of thanks to reading other posts in this forum. WinDirStat didn't show the huge storage in the temp folder. I deleted it and followed the directions I read from

TEMP System folder keeps filling itself with evtx and txt files

Hi Juozas

Windows has two Temp folders, one is located in your user profile folder (C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Tamp) and the other is C:\Windows\Temp

I suspect it is the System Temp folder (C:\Windows\Temp) that is filling up

Open File Explorer, then navigate to that folder, is that full of thousands of evtx ot appx files?

 

Windows 10 Temp folder filling up with thousands of files

I hope I got everyone who tried to help with this issue with a "thanks". I did try everyone's suggestions and almost gave up, but I went through some of the other files in some of the folders and kept seeing MS Visual Studio. Then I went though the Installed programs list and uninstalled both MS Visual Studio Tools and MS Visual Studio.

That fixed the constant filling up of the %temp% folder. Once again, thank you to everyone who tried to help. All good food for thought. Thanks again. Frank
