I use the CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR environment variable to give calibre a dedicated location for is temporary files (C:\_Calibre\Temporary). Occasionally something will be left behind, often as not an empty folder, rarely even megabytes never gigabytes.

Why did I do that? A year or two ago I was getting a quite a few small calibre_xxxxxx folders left behind in the standard TEMP location - mainly from conversion.

I have one library that's almost 700GB, but I don't do conversions or ebook-editing on that library, its just a repository.

Try giving calibre a private temp folder - at least you'll be able to monitor it closer.
