Windows 10 Temp folder filling up with thousands of files
I have been having issues with the Disk going to 100% and basically making my Windows 10 system (Version 1903 OS Build 18362.720) unusable.
I tried many many potential solutions to no avail. Search the internet many times.
I notice when I ran antivirus scan, the disk usage would drop to normal but it would go back to 100% usage somewhere between a few minutes and a few hours.
Playing around, noticed that the Temp direct was jammed with thousands of files. Clearing them out also made the disk usage light go out and the system would work fine for awhile, until the temp directory filled back up.
Some of the files were as follows:
dd_vs_setup_bootstrapper_decompression_log
mat-debug-184
18e190413af045db88dfbd29609eb877.db.ses
and dozens of folders filled with files.
Any suggestion would be deeply appreciated, as this has been sticking me for months now. Many Thanks in advance. Frank
