<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
This is using MS Windows 2008 R2 server. However, I found out a lot of archived logs created day-by-day in C:\windows\system32\winevt<wbr /> folder. Now, these archived logs are accumulated in 200 GB hard disk size. I do not know why there is a automatic background task that runs day-by-day as I didn't encountered same problem on other 2008 R2 server.<br />
How to stop this task so as this issue can be resolved once and for all.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.
