    What software are we talking about here? There is no way Acrobat takes up that much space. Photoshop might though.

      Whatever the reader is called now. It’s a known “feature”. They use Windows Installer patch system to update the application, but for some reason if it fails to update, it just re-downloads the patch without removing the failed ones. Or at least that’s my understanding. Allegedly (according to Adobe at least) it’s a rare bug, but I’ve had over a dozen machines from end users where this caused C partition to run full and slow down/freeze/crash the system. And I’m being serious when I say some machines regained over 30GB of space after uninstalling the reader.
