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?

Are you sure you do not have any logfiles for example from IIS that you can delete?
BTW. 20GB for system partition is minimum requirenment for Windows 2008With kind regards

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.

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.
