SBS 2008 C:\WSUS is very big. 66G
hi,
my SBS 2008 C:\WSUS folder is very big size, up to 66 G, is any way to make the folder size smaller? because my C driver only 180 G, now almost 160G, and I remember at the beginning the c dricer is only 60G. what file holding such big room? how can I clean it ? is that could be the update holding the room?
and should I update to Rollup 6? I saw some of the people said system can't functioning after update.
thanks

Run the cleanup first as described by MPECSinc, once done I would consider moving the content from the C partion and if needed the Database as well.
Both of the above answers will resolve the issue for you.

Depending on the "Products and Classifications" you have enabled determines the size of the WSUS content folder.
Running WSUS cleanup is always recommended, but will rarely clear up as much space as you might think/want it to. It does take a LONG time if never ran.
You should always keep your WSUS content and database on a separate partition.

Since this is SBS where WSUS is integrated please don't make changes to the settings other than making sure both categories are set to FULL.
We have seen 60GB to 70GB worth of WSUS content brought down to 15GB easily after running the wizard a number of times (top option may need a few runs).

Only if it hasnt been run regularly will you get that much of a drop.
It's much less time consuming to move it.

I think let me run the clean first, because it seem I didn't run it for a long time.
