I've used cleanmgr.exe but it doesn't find anything to cleanup! After some research I found a few articles about this but nothing conclusive that I want to try on a production server. C:\Windows\Installers folder that has ramped up to 18GB itself! Using TreeSize I'm able to see that its my Windows folder alone is very close to 40GB. After checking 4+ other servers the entire windows directory is under 20GB total on all of them. I have quite a few other servers with the same size root drive and do much heavier lifting than this server with plenty of space available still.
You are all done and now have more space.It seems our Citrix XenApp server 6.0 with Windows 2006 R2 圆4 is running out of space on a 60GB system drive. Check the Use Limit box and type in the amount in MB to which you want to set (1024 for 1GB) and click OK.
Select the drive in the list and click on the settings button. Right click on the drive in question and select Properties. Repeat the steps to make the changes to other drives and the space will be recovered.ĭouble click on Computer to see your drives. To validate the changes took run vssadmin list shadowstorage. Vssadmin resize shadowstorage /on=F: /For=F: /Maxsize=1GB Vssadmin resize shadowstorage /on=: /For=: /Maxsize= So to reclaim it I want to resize the maximum allocated space setting to 1 GB. In the issue I had with disappearing space was with the F:\ drive. So now let’s get to reclaiming the space on one of the drives. We can also see what available restore information is available by running vssadmin list shadows Type in vssadmin list shadowstorageĪs you can see the output shows used Space, Allocated Space and Maximum Space.
Open a command prompt with the “Run as Administrator” option. Special Note: if you do this on SQL servers it will stop the MSSQL service.
So how do you reclaim the space, well there are two ways either through the GUI or the command line to recover space that system restore is not using. There is a System Volume Information folder on every partition on your computer. The System Volume Information folder is a hidden system folder that the System Restore tool (XP, Vista/7/8) uses to store its information and restore points, it is also used by shadow copies for backups and other purposes on Windows 2003/20. Upon checking on the drive turned on show hidden on the server in a folder called System Volume Information. Recently ran into an issue where a 400 GB drive was showing low space but looking at the files found that only 20 GB was being consumed.
