The problem I have is tied budget and right now my servers are mostly all at 18 % available space. &nbsp;I have tried disk cleanup but it only does so much for me. Any other alternative?

Where is the page file for the system located? Moving it over to the D: Drive would help a lot.<br />

Hi Team, <br />
<br />
I would like to know what are the Do's and Don't to free up space from a window server. How can I identify which files can be deleted or not. Most of our server have an additional drive but I am not sure of which files can be moved over to the other disk drive to balance disk spacing. Both C &amp;&nbsp;D drive is mostly occupied by SQL server and backup files but mainly the C drive seem to be the one always full.

Hi Team, 

I would like to know what are the Do's and Don't to free up space from a window server. How can I identify which files can be deleted or not.

What files can be moved/compressed and delete from server 2003 and 2008.

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
