Deleting SBS log files
I need to free up some disk space on our C partition. We are running SBS2008. As a short term fix I would like to delete some of the log files. Can I safely delete/archive everything in C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles? There is currently 6G of logs there. Also I see a 3G SBS SBS_Monitoring.ldf file in the SQL server directory. Can this be cleared or reduced in size?
Just need a quick fix until the disk can be reparitioned.

Leew hit the big one (I love that Third Tier blogpost!...but I'm biased) ...but also make sure your SBS install is fully patched. There were specific space-saving (and performance tuning!) updates included with SBS update-rollup 4 (UR4) that I find is missing a suprising number of times.
I personally have a job configured to remove IIS logs older then 30 days. It runs weekly. You can disable the logging entirely but I like to have it for troubleshooting and other reasons.
