HELP! Run out of space on C drive web server

Hi,
I have a 12.5 GB partition on the C drive my web server.  This runs the CRM system, I have come in over the weekend and it has 0 space left, I have run disk clean up deleted all temp files, user profiles not being used, and I have moved the installer folder on to my E partition which has over 100GB free!!
Anyone know of any other quick fix solutions to get me back up and running, I was in the process of buying a new server over the weekend but wasn't planning on this happening so soon.
thanks

can the IIS log files be deleted?
Yes (except the most recent one). Moving them elsewhere is probably better option (just to be able to keep audit trail)
I can move the some where else I have plenty of space on the E drive the most recent one is called W3SVC1 and then there a quite a few other folders in there
You're safe to move these...

i've managed to free up 700 mb could do with some more space really until this new server arrives i've tried all the above any more suggestioins?
cheers
From here on it very much depends on your configuration. If your CRM database resides on the C partition then that might use up a fair bit of space as well. The Spacemonger tool torimar metionned above is a good start to see how the sapce is used.
you didn't try mine obviously

sorry i dont quite understand it, mounting remote folders i just want a quick fix?

mvgeertruyen: Can I clean out the most recent IIS folder?
There is almost 1Gb in there.

cheers
Yes you can - move the files elsewhere (everything in C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles and the subfolders is safe to delete or better; move elsewhere)

why not delete the E drive and add it to c drive? of course , backup whatever you need on E.  then you could have one partition. that would seem simplest to me.

you can take a ntfs drive and instead of giving it a drive letter you can mount it in a empty folder

for instane
get a 1tb drive format it to ntfs create on your c: a folder called 1tbdrive and mount the 1tb drive into that folder

there you go magically you have 1tb free space
