The MEMORY.DMP file is over 140 Mb. The system seems to be running ok except I need more space on the C drive. Can I delete the MEMORY.DMP file?

thanks

Yes, you can delete it. It was generated the last time your system crashed. Unless you need to diagnose the crash, you can delete it.

Personally, I have my servers set up for just a kernal dump, so it only uses 64k or whatever. If you have a server crash that requires you send the dump to Microsoft, you can probably change the setting back.
 
No problem. By the way, if you're that short on space on a server, you should definitely delete some stuff, move some files to another partition, move your swap file, or buy a bigger hard drive.

(Moving the OS to a bigger hard drive isn't that big a deal. You can use a product like TrueImage that'll make it easy.)
