We have lots of Symantec Endpoint installs and none of them do that. <br />
<br />
It may be the user has viruses and SEP is removing / logging them and maybe not cleaning up.<br />
<br />
Uninstall SEP completely and restart. Check the SEP program folder and delete contents (since it was uninstalled). <br />
<br />
Does the space come back? &nbsp;Reinstall SEP and check. <br />
<br />
Run a full virus scan.
