Great balls of fire!!!

At 26GB your Temp folder is beyond huge. I'd say you have some serious
issues with that particular machine. I don't know an install program on
Earth that would leave behind anything close to even 1GB in "residue".

You better take a close look at those Temp subfolders to see what they
contain...you may have some legitimate applications hiding in there.

Whatever else, you need to, perhaps, reconstruct how all those GBs of
folders/files got there. Some of that probably should be moved to other,
more appropriately named, directories.
