The Temp Folder keeps filling up my C drive, PLEASE HELP

Hi

The problem started when I updated my Windows 10 to the latest version (I think 1803) and then after one day my C drive was almost full (my drive is 190Gb and I always try to keep at least 100 GB free), I ran disk clean up but it just could free around 100Mb then I start by uninstalling some application and it kept getting full again, Then I installed WinDirStat to see where the problem is, then I noticed that TEMP folder is around 90-95 GB!!!!! After that I checked to see if it is ok to delete the folder contents, they said it is safe, so I deleted them. After few days the same problem occurred again. and it keeps filling up my drive, the speed is unbelievable around 1000 files in 10 minutes. I even tried deleting the folder content in safe mode, but as soon as I restart my computer it started to make these files again!

The image below shows my temp folder

Thanks in advance
