Exchange 2016 Server C: Drive spaces is keep on getting reduced.

Exchange 2016 Server C: Drive spaces is keep on getting reduced. We are supposed to stop the transport service and relocate the file SMS Data File (.que) manually. This is becoming a burden. Any help/advice will be highly appreciated !!!

We do not use Exchange 2016 since we use cloud-based Exchange but without knowing your Exchange server configuration, this may be more of a configuration issue.  During my early years of Exchange 5.5/2000, we kept application on the C: drive and database/transaction logs on the E: drive. Never had an issue with database size except for application limitations. Transaction logs is what you need to watch out for as that can take up space, but when a full backup completes, those logs are supposed to be truncated and deleted.

But in any event, I found this old article which may help your situation:

Again, we don't use in-house server, so this is the best that I could assist with.
