    Try downloading and running CCleaner. It specializes in this and has other tools as well: CCleaner - Home

    Well C:\Windows\Temp\ is the temp directory if you want to manually check it out.

    CCleaner should delete it no problem, but you have to tick the box manually for it to clean it. By default it won't delete those files. Did you make sure that box was checked off? I've never had CCleaner fail on me like that.

    Don't forget the user temp folder...

    You will find this at

    c:\users\*you*\AppData\Local\Temp

    Replace *you* with your username... and just type it into the address bar at the top of any explorer window.

    The huge disk usage is probably the result of software or update installations... the good ones clean up after themselves... but not all do.

    .
    Be aware that this folder is hidden. If you want to access it using Explorer you will need to go to Control Panel/Folder Options/View and tick the appropriate box.
