Why does my PC have 500gb of temporary files?

Hello.

I was just watching YouTube until I suddenly got a message saying "not enough storage space." I supposedly have 555GB of temporary files, but when I try to clear them, it only shows a few MB. Can anyone help me?

I would use a program like windistat to find out where the 500 GB are accurate. It’s probably some program.

Otherwise you can also manually delete some files on the temp folder.

But to delete all is not really recommended because would be good to know what program is there… Otherwise it’ll write so much again.

As far as I know you can click on the point of temporary files and then everything will be shown to you. You would also see apps and features.
