C drive losing space fast each time I try to use Unreal Engine although EVERYTHING is on a different drive!

Hi, I just installed UE4 yesterday and started to learn from today,
I got the 4.25.3 version, I changed the Engine install location from C to E before starting to download, since E has tons more space (around 60 GB of free space) than C (HAD nearly 7 GB free space!), but each time I used UE4, my C drive kept losing more and more space. Currently it has around 3 GB of space, I think I used UE4 for a few hours now.

It can’t be my Vault since I didn’t download them yet. But after reading in other questions I decided to change the vault location, not that it does anything since I have nothing anyways.
It can’t be the Epic Games Launcher since I installed that on E too, along with everything else during each step of the installation that had a changeable location option as to where I’d like to keep it.

I even deleted projects I made although I always change their locations to my E drive as well when I open new ones, just to see if it would have any effect, but the space occupied in C isn’t coming back!

Somewhere on the web it said UE4 dumps stuff to %localappdata%\UnrealEngine so I went over there to see how much space that takes! But it doesn’t nearly take the amount of space that dissapeared! (It takes around 250 MB, whereas, I lost like 4 GB or more!)

Someone help please! I should tell you, this isn’t my first time seeing this, a few months ago I tried playing around with Unreal engine and my C drive had 0 BYTES LEFT! That’s when I uninstalled UE4 last time and the space did come back quite a bit although even then, UE4 WASN’T INSTALLED ON C DRIVE!
