New version of Vegas pro eats up all my computer space

Any time i do anything in the software all it does is eat up space on my computer. This wasn't happening in vegas pro 20, I upgraded to 22 which I now regret

 

I lost 30 GB of space just using the software for a few hours and theres nothing I can do about it

 

Yes, I've checked my temporary file folders, there's nothing there. I'm on windows. I have no idea what to do about this

@Zach-Amin Do you know where the files are stored? I use a tool like TreeSize Free to scan my hard drive for large folders: https://customers.jam-software.de/downloadTrial.php?language=EN&article_no=80

Besides that, the official forum for Vegas is at https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info

Actually that depends on your local time as the forum displays the time where you are. I'm currently GMT +13
