C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1 grows very big

[John_Santana]

Hi All,

In the EV server, can we safely delete the directory content of C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1 ?

because it is taking 40% of my C: drive.

yes you can. also go to IIS Manager and disable logging if you don't need it

Cool, many thanks !

I wouldn't suggest turning it off - it can be very helpful for troubleshooting, and data analysis.

Rob, thank you, yes so in this case I can just let it grow to a certain size and then delete it when the disk space is low.

Yep, have a look at this thread for some additional thoughts/ideas.
