[afnog] Windows Server 2008 C Drive full error

[Gina Girimana]

Hi  guys,

I ve run Windows Backup unfortunatelly  it did not reduce the partition...
Which is now full. After that I scanned the drive with WinDirStat. You can
Find attached the results. It seems that the logs fill it over 70%.

How do we empty the drive in that case?



Regards
