Just to confirm, its just one log file which is very large. When I tried to rename it, I got an error stating it was in use by the system so I guess I need to stop a server before I can rename/delete or move the file?

<div>
Thanks for the assistance chaps.

<div>
Has the issue been resolved?<br />

I thought so but the exchange server has just stopped accepting incoming messages (outbound still working) Suspect a space issue since C drive has 4.41gb of 171gb - just searching for stuff to delete.

I would check to see if the size what the size of the mail.que file is. &nbsp;This is short term message storage in Exchange, it can help in quickly restoring message if needed.<br />

If you've used Ex2010, this is the new name for the functionality formally known as Transport Dumpster (I like the old name better, anytime I can say &quot;dumpster&quot; in a technical discussion and be serious about it, I enjoy my job even more)<br />
<br />
The size of mial.que is dependent on 2 things, your retention settings and the message volume on your Exchange server(s).<br />

I managed to move a couple of PSTs from the C drive and got back 24gb so thanks for pointing me in the direction of lack of space.
