DOSBOX should not do anything like this. Possible cause: are you capturing wave/midi/images? If yes, then these are stored there...

Just go to the directory using the Windows Explorer and see what is taking so much space.

It could be that stdout.txt file, no? Remember when errors are sent to that one command window they also get saved for a moment in that txt file. I dunno if this is still true but I remember that happening a while back.
