Low disk space
I have a system volume (C) that is 20gb in size and only 150mb left. I've moved windows update files, i've deleted useless temp files and programs and wondering what i can safely delete in the Windows folder?

Krystian, My understanding of windows 2008 was 80min? Anyway i'm looking to free up space on a 20gb sys volume and mainly targeting the "Windows" folder.

Hi, You can check your Pagefile size. Use SysInternals PageDefrag. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb545027 Thanks.

Do you have/need the uninstall directories for patches and hotfixes? Another candidate for deletion. I don't recommend messing with the WinSxS directory unless you are 100% confident in what you are doing.

Hi, Is there free space on other partition? If so, you can shrink other partitions and extend c drive into unallocated space. As this thread quiet for a while, I wonder if you have solved your problem. Assuming you have fixed, in case of who have the same problem. I think there is a better solution with step by step tutorial. I hope it will be helpful.
