Even though recent year's hard drives are equipped with larger and larger capacity, applications, Windows updates, browser caches, and temporary files are occupying system partition space rapidly. Sometimes low disk space of system partition in server also causes system crash.
Windows will warn users when there is not enough disk space like the following.



Low disk space in Windows Server 2003 causes these problems:

As server is so important, such problems should be fixed as soon as possible. Users can clean up some disk space through the following solutions.
