Windows 10 temp cab files?

lol, I was blaming Daz3d for hogging up most of the space on my 1 Tb HDD so I deleted all of the back-up install packages for it using their install manager. Nooope, that didn't do it, and the math still wasn't adding up vs. what I have installed/saved on the laptop.
So probably for the first time in years, I checked the C:\windows\temp directory and figured I would find a couple Gb in it....
I ended up finding over 550 Gb in freaking CAB files... :eek: Needless to say, I cut & pasted the files from windows\logs\CBS to an external drive and just deleted all of the cab files.

I use Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop & was wondering if this issue ever crops up on Windows 10 Pro.
 
Never happened to me in any version of Windows, starting from W2000.
