AutoCAD Civil 3D

You can find the path on the Files tab in Options. I usually reset it to my own path.

For Win 7 users the default location should be C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp

IMHO checking and clearing out this folder should be part of the normal system maintenance for all ACad users.  Mine has not been giving me any problems but I still had 532 files and 678MB of junk to get rid of.

Dump everything under the "TEMP" folder....?

Yup - dump it all.  Windows won't let you delete any files that are actively being used by programs.

In my experience, that software crashes at least as much.  And given that I've used AutoCAD for a lot longer, I find Microstation very frustrating.  It often takes me a couple of hours to do a task that I can do in C3D in a few seconds.  Although I've heard that people who start with the MicroStation products have the similar problems when they try to use C3D.

C3D 2010 did tend to crash a lot.  Not as much as earlier releases, but it wasn't all that stable.  C3D 2011 also has lots of problems that were fixed in C3D 2012.  C3D 2013 has introduced a bunch of new nightmares.  So far, I recommend moving to C3D 2012...  It rarely crashes on me, and doesn't have all the "surprises" of C3D 2013.  After C3D 2013 SP1 is released, then that might change, but I find C3D 2012 to be the most productive at the moment.
