20GB is plenty big enough for C, you must have something misconfigured or in
need of a move.
Some questions/comments:
1) What are the directory locations and name/extension of these log files?
SQL data and log files usually use .mdf & .ldf.
2) Are you properly backing up your SQL database? That will cause the log
files to accumulate.
3) Are you using Exchange for email? The same two points above apply to
exchange databases. You must back them up otherwise exchange log files
(.LOG) will accumulate.
You do not need to uninstall anything - both exchange and SQL have ways of
moving database files and log files. With SQL, you simply use the
Enterprise manager to backup and restore the database to the new location.

Hi,
I have SBS 2K3 Premium with SP1 installed on the C drive. I have SQL
installed as well but do not use ISA. I followed Harrys book but made the
partition 20 GB. I am now running out of disk space on C. It is obvious
that
SQL is using the space. I have 1 LOB app that uses SQL but stores most of
there data on D:. Howeve, when I do a search for files with there name I
get
a lot of log files that could be as large as 1,500.000KB. Is there a way
to
change the installation location of SQL without having to uninstall SQL. I
also am concerned how it will affect the LOB app.
Thank You
.
