I just found today that my c disk is running out of space, it is very strange because i did not put anything big recently, after check the folders i found a huge file in the temp C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp, file name is magick-FxU4GFJd, the size is 31.5G, based on the name, it has something to do with imagemagick, because I did many tests on my laptop recently, any idea why this file is so big and what does it use for?

IM creates temporary files there, and deletes them when it finishes. If IM crashes, it doesn't delete the temp files. You can delete them manually (when IM isn't running, of course).
