Ran into this issue over the weekend - A recently released version of Google Earth (version 7.0.2.8415) can overload the assigned 2 Gb cache and fill out the C: drive. In my case 188 Gb of data got loaded. Its not obvious that this is happening and it took exposing AppData (hidden) and searching to find the issue.

There is an ongoing thread on this on the Google Product Support site. And while this is a Google issue, many of us use GE and may run into this without knowing the cause.

Here is the Google Product Thread...
