I have a file server running windows server 2003 R2 that is struggling with space on the C drive. In doing a search on files that are greater than 10MB I'm finding quite a number of .DMP files from Dr. Watson and .MSI files that state they are installation files.<br />
<br />
1. Is there a certain procedure to delete these files ?<br />
<br />
2. What do you recommend as a tool for managing storage and quickly identifying files that are gobbling up space and should be deleted?

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.
