Low Disk Space on SBS 2003 SP2



We have a SBS 2003 server that is running low on disk space on the C:\
partition. The server is configured as follows:

C:\ 15 GB Total - 75 MB Free Space [Windows Program Files]
D:\ 50 GB Total - 19 GB Free Space [Downloads and Source CDs]
E:\ 158 GB Total - 57 GB Free Space [Shared Documents, Client Apps,
Exchange, SQL Server]

The largest files on the C:\ partition appear to be logfiles located in
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\LogFiles\W3SVC1 at 2.94GB. These log files take the form
exyymmdd.log and are titled "Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.0".

On July 12 2008, I created a new "Log Files" folder on the E:\ partition and
using the IIS MMC redirected the log files for the default web site to the
new folder. New logs are now being added to this new folder while the same
folder on the C:\ partition has stopped growing.

My question is this - have I taken the right approach? I'm not certain what
these log files are used for but they appear to replicate Exchange
transaction logs. Have I corrupted them by moving them in the manner
described. What harm would come from deleting them, or moving them entirely
to the D:\ partition?
