could be a program that has a redirect for its temp files - usually via an environment variable, might have been clobbered so its defaulting to C:\

Looking into my crystal ball, I see...
...a .NET update repeatedly failing
...or some app attempting to update MS Visual C++
I've seen both of those leave these files behind:

Intel logs normally go in that folder in the root...
...but AdobeTemp does look like an environment/path issue.
I installed MSE while ago. It makes a folder like this in the root. It just cleaned up after itself (unlike some installers).
