What is the path to the folder that is growing? Are you running SP2 or SP3 and the issue is in a SP2 folder? – David Remy Aug 18 '10 at 5:04

If you have 4GB of ram, you may have a 4gb hybernation file, or a a 4gb page file...etc.

Look up how to turn off hybernation if you don't use it and decrease your pagefile or set it to a different hard drive.
