My system partition is getting low on disk space and i think I have narrowed it down to a process that has taken place last night and the night before called ci services. Can someone explain what this service does and why is this the first time this service has run. It seems to be adding files to my System Volume Information directory which I can not delete.

If I am not mistaken this is the Indexing service in conjunction with IIS. Since it is an extreme resource hog, if you don't need it -- disable it.

Thanks. I finally went to services and noticed Indexing as one of the service. I disabled this service and was able to delete the files I needed to delete. Why this service all of sudden placed these files on my C drive I have no clue. Its been running since I installed this server.
