Bitdefender ProgramData Folder Bloat

Total Security: C:\ProgramData\Bitdefender\desktop\EnginesTemp folder filled with 617Gb of temp files/folders. This filling 1000gb hard drive and making PC unusable until space cleared. . Unable to delete contents. How do I remove and how to prevent? Win 10 Pro. This is happening on other PC's but do lesser extent. Still those are approaching 50gb of temp files.

On the first PC I had to uninstall and reinstall Bitdefender to clear those files. This bug needs to be fixed.
