I have several files in this folder that are 20+ gb each and they are all .db files. Not sure how to post a screen shot.

For an example not sure is this tell you much but the name of the file is db10700.db and it is 23 gb.

A ".db" file is a database, it can contain ALOT of data, and obviously does in this case. Usually, you can use Microsoft access to open database files. That would be the best way to see why it's so large. You can download a trial version of Microsoft Access to open that file and see what's in it and if you want to delete it or not.
