Nowadays, we are worried about fast installation rate of application programs and Windows updates, temporary files which can take up all unused space and make our computer run disorderly, and browser caches although current disks have surprising storage capacity. When our hard disk is badly short of space, the system may alert us that the computer runs in Low Disk Space, Just like the following dialogue box:



Low Disk Space will result in many troubles. Here, we take Windows 2008 Server as an example. Problems resulted from Windows 2008 Server Low Disk Space are as follows: application programs and updates can not be stored in the computer; operating system runs slowly; more seriously, operating system may even crash.
When we face these problems, we must take measures to solve them in time. If not, we will bear great losses. Well then, how to solve these problems? In fact, there are two methods.
