I am trying to open up some .rar files. However, after a certain point during the extraction I get the error 'could not open, disk is full'.

I noticed during a previous extraction process that my hard disk space falls rapidly. Yet I cannot the .rar file which is taking up this space.

Any ideas on where the opened file is being saved so that I can delete?

double click on the file and check the files inside then click extract too and change the path where you have space.

Its a problem i have had with Win Rar over the years .
Default is to unrar the file to the same location as the WinRar files . Once in a blue moon says disc full etc .
Unrar to desktop cures the problem .
