Which log files you talk about? There are some under 
C:\windows\system32\logfiles\ but this has been removed to gain space.


I think the SQL monitoring service is a good candidate to be removed. 
However I don't know if I can remove the rotated errorlogs as I 
mentioned in one of my previous emails (just in case it has any effect 
in any report). Also the data files from this service can be moved 
somewhere else?


For the time I'm going to move the rotated logs somewhere else.

Thank you for the responses. Ccleaner reported that could clean up about 300 Mb 
of logs, cookies and other minor stuff.

However, after running it, still the C drive doesn't show that space clean up. 
Why? Do I need to reboot the server?

Thanks,

Miguel

Any reason you can't remove any and all patches that would normally be
allowed a rollback.  That sometimes can amount to more than 500MB

Subject: cleaning up C drive of SBS 2003

Hi,

 I have a SBS 2003 server that is running out of space in the C drive.

 I have performed almost everything already in that drive:

 - Move pagefile.sys file to other partition.

 - Move Sharepoint databases to other partition.

 - The Exchange databases are already moved.

 
 So basically all data is in other partitions. Also our TrendMicro AV is
installed in other partition.

 Removing log files from c:\windows\system32\logfiles and using the cleanup
tool from Windows has been enough for months since I performed a
reassignment of more space to that drive. I could reassign more space again
bringing the machine offline but I'd prefer not to do it, plus I don't know
why is running out of space now.

 Anything that I should look at? Or any tips? I have read that I could move
the uninstall files for Windows updates but I'd prefer not start messing up
with that stuff.

 Thanks

 Miguel

Re: cleaning up C drive of SBS 2003

[Miguel Gonzalez]

The errorlog files seem to have been rotated (they have number extensions: 
errorlog.1, errorlog.2). Is there any issue if I remove any of those rotated 
files?

Re: cleaning up C drive of SBS 2003

[Miguel Gonzalez]

This is very helpful. I've located this folder with 4 Gb:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SBSMONITORING

Since I've moved Sharepoint databases to other drive, could i do the same with 
the data in this folder? What about the logs? They are huge! Can I remove any?

Thanks,

Miguel

Re: cleaning up C drive of SBS 2003

[Phillip Partipilo]

Another neat program to find your space hogs is a treemap program;  
WinDirStat, a freebie, open sourced too -

http://windirstat.info/

It doesn't *need* to be installed via the setup, it can be run  
standalone, even off a network share, FYI.

  It's just like SequoiaView if you've ever used that one before.

You analyzed, now run it -- right button on bottom.

Thank you for the responses. Ccleaner reported that could clean up about 300 Mb 
of logs, cookies and other minor stuff.

However, after running it, still the C drive doesn't show that space clean up. 
Why? Do I need to reboot the server?

Thanks,

Miguel

RE: cleaning up C drive of SBS 2003

[Miguel Gonzalez]

Thank you for the responses. Ccleaner reported that could clean up about 300 Mb 
of logs, cookies and other minor stuff.

However, after running it, still the C drive doesn't show that space clean up. 
Why? Do I need to reboot the server?

Thanks,

Miguel

Re: cleaning up C drive of SBS 2003

[Steven Peck]

To help find some of those space vampires, I use an old visual utility
called scanner.  If you have some large directory of logfiles, someone
downloaded service packs to the profiles desktop, this will help you
spot them.
http://www.blkmtn.org/useful-utility-scanner

If you have actually found all your large easily removable stuff, then
not so much, but it's small and free.  We found a weird bug once with
Trend's log files not cleaning themselves up properly and were able to
reduce a 2.8 GB log file to nothing. :)

I love this thing.

Subject: cleaning up C drive of SBS 2003

Hi,

 I have a SBS 2003 server that is running out of space in the C drive.

 I have performed almost everything already in that drive:

 - Move pagefile.sys file to other partition.

 - Move Sharepoint databases to other partition.

 - The Exchange databases are already moved.

 
 So basically all data is in other partitions. Also our TrendMicro AV is 
installed in other partition.

 Removing log files from c:\windows\system32\logfiles and using the cleanup 
tool from Windows has been enough for months since I performed a reassignment 
of more space to that drive. I could reassign more space again bringing the 
machine offline but I'd prefer not to do it, plus I don't know why is running 
out of space now.

 Anything that I should look at? Or any tips? I have read that I could move the 
uninstall files for Windows updates but I'd prefer not start messing up with 
that stuff.

 Thanks

 Miguel
