I deleted all the files and they are reapearing

Edit1: Never seen something like this. After deleting all the files 25 Gb of files and then deleting them as they reapeared, then deactivated all the BD modules(AV, FW and ANTISPAM) now a folder has been created with the name "tmp00007ad7" and one file in it named "tmp00000000". Please help!

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Please tell me, are you talking about the temp folder from Windows or the one from Users?

Thank you.

The bdcloud folders in my Windows\Temp folder (Win7 x64) are all empty. Everything in the Windows/Temp folder combined only occupy a few KB of disk space.
