Get a wet/dry shop vacuum and pull all the water out of the condensate drain pipe that goes outside. That's the pipe you had to dig a hole under to keep it draining.
If you back up water in the vents it will take a day or so to dry out. You could speed that up by vacuuming those out too. Your a/c is working correctly if it is removing lots of water from the air, but you should also make sure your house is insulated properly and you don't have lots of air leaks. That will keep out warm moist outside air and make it easier to cool your home.

The pipe outside (condensate drain) is working the way it should
the duct pipes inside are not properly insulated and are sweating
