Why is my drive so full on my Windows 2008 Server
My server is Windows 2008 R2 Standard Server.
I have a secondary SAS drive where all my website files are with the following properties:
- NTFS File System
- Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties IS CHECKED
- Simple Layout
- Basic Type
- Healthy (Page File, Primary Partition) Status
I have 3 folders on this drive:
Folder 1: 4GB
Folder 2: 2GB
Folder 3: 20GB
(These are the sizes of them when I click properties)
But the drive says it only has 10GB left out of 65GB. Why? I'm trying to make more room on this drive.
Solution 1:
Shadow Copies may be eating up your diskspace.
vssadmin list shadowstorage
Will tell you if it is.
Solution 2:
Or the recycle bin / system volume information could be consuming space (both hidden directories on the root of the file system).
