Free up space in the following folders: Office File Cache, $Recycle.Bin, and Software Distribution/Downloads
I need to open up space on my server and I noticed that the folder called Software Distribution/Downloads contains 40GB of information. What is this folder used for and is it safe to delete everything in it?
Additionally, I notice that Office File Cache seems to have 16GB. Is it safe to delete this folder and what is it used for?
One more. I located a folder called $Recycle.bin that has 5GB of data in it. I see my actual recycle bin shows nothing in it so what is this folder doing with all that data and is it safe to delete?
Thanks
