There's and RSTempFiles folder on the report services server, that is taking up so much space.

from my understanding and what others are saying. These are temporary files caused either by a report that's has a high number of requests.
But we cannot delete these files. They may be cleared by some process in a short while but in some cases, it just stays big for days.

how do I deal with this?
what is the safest way of cleaning up this folder?
