There is a file in my temp folder that grows every second by 1-3KB and its making a ton of small writes to my SSd and I want to remove it. I think it has something to do with my Logitech webcam but I don't know what it is.

 

EDIT: Turns out it was looking for my webcam and when it can't find it the .txt file gets updated with a failed device code. plugging in my webcam fixed this.

I just had to open the file and I figured out what was going on. it was a 50MB .txt file at first so it wouldn't open until I deleted it and it recreated itself.

Sounds like the NSA recording your actions through your webcam. Be careful...
