My C Drive Keeps Filling up even though I'm saving only to my D: Drive. This started happening when I have a 3D Coat Session lately. Please help!!

Has anyone ever had any issues where when using 3D Coat.....all of sudden all your hard drive space is completely eaten?

I had over 20 GIGs of space on my C drive at the start of my 3D Coat Session today (Version 2022 is installed on my D: Drive) and then I get a warning saying I'm running out of room and then I check and it says I have 0 (zero) storage space on my C: Drive. But meanwhile I'm saving everything to my D drive.

I'm not saving anything to my C: Drive and I do not even have 3D Coat installed on my C: Drive.  Everything should be on my D; Drive only. 

Could there be some temp autosave files being stored somewhere on the C; Drive that I'm missing? I've tried looking all over but can't seem to find where all my storage space is disappearing to. Never had this happen before. Anyone know what this could be?

I tried that and it's still seems to be eating away at my C:Drive.  Does 3D Coat store temp files/or other any place else that's hidden?

And even if that worked what folder is it storing all these extra files? And can you delete what's in there?  Re-Routing to another location is only a temporary solution....eventually my D: Drive will be filled up after more sessions? Never had this problem before.

Eveything by default is saved inside \\Documents

You can see install locations using this command
