Windows system volume lacks free space and risks disrupting updates and applications.

Probable causes

  • Large log
  • User profiles
  • Temporary files
  • Update cache
  • Applications or data stored on C:
  • S/Snapshots/save agents

Verifications.

  1. Measure the free space — Use the East Volume…
  2. Identify large directories — Analyze known files with a suitable tool.
  3. Control the logs — Check Event Logs, IIS, applications and antivirus.
  4. Checking profiles — Search for old profiles without deleting those still in use.

Solutions…

  • Purging temporary and logs files according to controlled policy
  • Move application data where possible
  • Add volume if growth is structural
