Hi,
I am sure this topic has been posted before but i can't find it.... :-(
We have got a windows 2000 server and the C drive is getting full. I have deleted all of the tmp files and moved the page file but could still do with finding some more space. Any idea what else i could delete safely as i just need the server to keep going for the next couple of months before it gets replaced.
Thanks in advance
 
Are there any user profiles stored on the C: drive. You can try deleting temporary internet files for users.
Also check for *.log files, particularly framework.log (this file can become huge and hasn't served me any purpose)
 
Try deleting service pack and patch uninstall files. They will be in C:\windows or c:\winnt and follow the naming standard of "$NtUninstalKB##########$" or "$NtServicePackUninstall################$".
