I have a couple computers at work that only use adobe to read pdfs but the temp files located C:/ProgramData/Adobe/Temp are extremely large. My PC is sitting at 128gigs, inside the folder are lots of folders with numbers, inside those folders are config.bin and installer.bin. What do I need to do to stop this from constantly filling or generating. It happens in the middle of the night when people arent using it, or when I am doing other stuff, I noticed thats today 3 folders were created at 1:57pm and 3 folders at 1:45pm which, at those times I was desiging in Solidworks. Any help? Some computers have small hard drives so we need to delete this folder often.

Is Acrobat the only Adobe application on those computers? My Adobe folder has subfolders with the names of other Adobe applications to keep them organized.
My best,
Dave

Interesting - My folder sturcture is very different - Windows 10 64 bit, and a Creative Cloud subscription on board. Perhaps someone from Adobe can chime in on this. Good luck!

Dave M, your screen shot shows c:\Program files, while the original post shows c:\Programdata. This is Microsoft's place for apps to store changing files for all users. I have the folders shown in the second screen shot (c:\ProgramData\Adobe), and I have more, but I don't have Temp!
Anyway, the general rule is you can delete Temp files without causing much harm.

So as a test I uninstalled all adobe products that I am aware of from my PC and I am still getting the temp file under C/ProgramData/Adobe. Since I last posted this on September 14, its created 8.34GB worth of temp storage.

You can definitely delete it. This is happening on all our endpoints and I have an automated remediation that deletes everything in this folder every time a system drive gets below 1GB free. This folder is almost always the culprit.

Third time in the last 2 months my PC ran out of space because of the Adobe Temp folder occupying ~300GB of storage.

My only solution was to uninstall all adobe products from my pc and rely on opening pdfs in Edge.

Hello Adobe,
I am another user plagued by this bug, my C:\program data\Adobe\Temp consumes disk space and i have to manually delete the files in temp folder, currently being 43Gb weekly. Please fix your product to properly update the Adobe products and delete failed updates living in this temp folder.

OK, so I had 647 GB in that folder. I noticed my Windows drive (C:) was starting to fill up which was odd because I don't really use for anything other than Windows and some folders connected to that, like dowloaded files etc. But I have all my Adobe applications on another drive. But apparently Adobe's been secretely stuffing an inbcredible amount of data in there without telling me. And for quite some time. Seems safe enough to just delete it all, but it really shouldn't have to be there in the first place.

Just posting to confirm the same issue still exists 3 years later. Had about half a dozen staff that couldn't send email because their hard drives were full... full of Adobe Reader temp files (on average 100gb per user). I deleted them but what a ridiculous problem to have.
