Running out of space on drive C:
The original partition size is 12 GB.
At this poing I am left with 285 MB free which creates problems,
this is one of them:
Event ID 13570 by NtFrs:
The File Replication Service has detected that the volume hosting the path c: is low on disk space. Files may not replicate until disk space is made available on this volume.
The available space on the volume can be found by typing "dir /a c:".
For more information about managing space on a volume type "copy /?", "rename /?", "del /?", "rmdir /?", and "dir /?".
Is it save to remove the Windows updates $NtUninstall*$ files?
Is there a proper way of doing it?
Thank you.

One simple trick is to buy a 1 TB or more external harddisk and plug it into the USB. This will create another drive for your server to work with. You can store your non-system and non-program files on this external hd. This will give you a E drive. You might even want to consider using a 8 GB thumb drive if cost is an issue.

It wouldn't be a problem... but.....
E: letter for a drive is taken.
Nice.
Thx.

Hi,
in order to free even more space, you might want to try this:
- run CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com)
- move the folder "My Documents" from C: to another partition (right-click > Properties > Move)
- move the pagefile from C: to another partition (http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/14493/how-do-i-move-my-pagefile.html)
Hope this helps.

It doesn't matter E drive or F drive. The external hd ot flash disk is to help extend your hd space.

Sorry for posting again, but I forgot two very important pieces of advice:
- move your Temp folder from C to another drive/partition (http://www.ghacks.net/2007/07/11/speed-up-windows-by-moving-the-temp-folder)
- move your temporary internet files and IE cache to another drive/partition by selecting the corresponding options in Control Panel > Internet Options

Thank you.
I moved the Win update backup files as dariusq suggested there won't be a problem and have almost a GB of space.
As per other suggestions, thank you.
I did that before.
As to running programs, I'll take care of the big one tomorrow after informing Eng Dept. about SolidWorks being removed from the server.
Thank you.

12 GB is more than enough space for a C: drive. Please review my web page for more than 20 different things you may be able to move/delete/change to free up space on the c: drive.

In addition to the above experts reccomendation of CCleaner, I also advice you run ATF Cleaner ( http://www.atribune.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=25 ) as well.
