RE: low disk space



Hello Dabbler,

Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.

According my experience, it's safe to directly remove all files and folders
in C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution. This folder is used to store temporary
files during installing windows updates. So removing them will not cause
any system problem.

Additionally, if you need to same space on SBS 2003, please read the
following white paper:

Moving Data Folders for Windows Small Business Server 2003

1a7d2/SBS_MoveDataFolders.DOC#_Toc83458186

If you have further concern with it, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,

Robert Li(MSFT)
