How do I find large files created by an app that put them on my SSD?

OK a little background, I'm running FCPX and I need to convert "BlackMagic RAW" files [called ".braw"] in order for FCPX to be able to use them.


Enter, a new application that runs in tandem called "Color Finale Transcoder" and it runs as it's own scalable window that gives you the ability to create NEW [transcoded files] from the original .braw files that can THEN be edited in FCPX...OK


Color Finale Transcoder wrote the resulting files to my internal SSD [even though I did everything I knew how to, NOT TO DO THAT!] it FILLED the SSD!


I can not find those files to throw them out... and I've been a Mac guy for 30 years [so I'm not exactly lost?] yet all my attempts to use "Command Find xxxx" has gotten me nowhere.


any ideas? and yes I have sent an email to "Color Finale Transcoder"... but I'm not holding my breath if you know what I mean?


thanks folks


Mac Pro, macOS 10.15

Bless you !! [whoever you are] and I hope that is not offensive? [for me to say it that way]


I would have NEVER EVER found it without that app! here is one of 4 files it created


" CFNetworkDownload_0T8ufJ.tmp "


There should be a law against such files being created in the background with there being no way, for you to know, they exist, [accept that they eat up space...]
