Desktop Connector is caching files locally when opening them. This might take up disk space.
How to release local disk space?

Use the Free up Space tool to clear out the local cache.

This feature can be used at the account, project, project folder, or individual file level.
Using the feature on the account level will likely clear much disk space; using the feature on an individual file will only clear the individual files.
Right-click the corresponding level in the Autodesk Docs drive in Windows Explorer and select "Free up Space" and the local disk space will be released immediately.
Files from Autodesk Docs will be downloaded again "on demand" as soon as they are opened.
