Huge Temp File Can't be Deleted

Community Beginner ,
Jul 05, 2021 Jul 05, 2021

I am running Windows 10 and have the full CC suite.  I was doing some PC cleanup and noticed a huge (372 GB) hidden temp file, called AdobeTemp, right off the C drive.  It contains only .ttc, .ttf, and .fon files.  I've tried to delete but I cannot. I tried the Adobe recommendation of using Disk Clean up and even tried in Safe Mode but still cannot.  I spent an hour with adobe tech support but no luck.  I can't believe a this huge folder is supposed to be there.  Can anyone verify that this is normal for a 372GB temp folder?  And if it's not normal, any ideas on how to delete?  Thanks.

I use the free portable version of this to delete stubborn files:

Before deleting it, you may want to make a copy of that file in a different location in case you find that the file is necessary.

opening that folder showed several .tmp folders that i deleted (after giving admin permission) while cc is running:
