Did you identify which folder is taking up the space on the VM?

If new files are coming to fileserver there is  possibility of increasing space or space usage everyday..

Tree Size will help. Why do you think it would not?<br />
<br />
Space is used up by Temp Files, Update Downloads, and System Information Folder. <br />
<br />
How much disk space was allocated to the VM? &nbsp;Maybe too little.

Within the server, you can list out details of all files like<br />
<br />
dir c:\/s &gt;&nbsp;c:\list.txt<br />
<br />
against c drive and other drives, and then see which new files are taking up the big space

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

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

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
