Aximmetry doesn’t store a lot of big temporary files, but Unreal certainly does. The only problem is that if you delete them it will take a long time next time you need to re-cook your UE5 projects since the derived data cache stores all the compiled shaders.

Hi,

Also, if you're downloading assets for Unreal via Epic Games Launcher, it cache every downloaded asset at C:/ProgramData/Epic/EpicGamesLauncher/VaultCache/. You have the option to change this folder in the Epic Games Launcher's Settings.

Personally, I recommend using software like TreeSize. It provides a clear overview of the size of each folder on your system.

Warmest regards,
