C drive running out of space
The issue may be related to an UNBOUNDED Maximum Shadow Copy size. To
check the Shadow Copy size:
1. Open a Command Prompt and run as Administrator.
2. Type -vssadmin List ShadowStorage-
3. Check the line Maximum Shadow Copy Storage Space to see if it is set
to UNBOUNDED.
If it is set to UNBOUNDED, do the following to give it a maximum size:
4. Type: -vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /On=C: /For=C: /MaxSize=5GB-
5. You should see the message: -Successfully resized the shadow copy
storage association. -
6. Perform step 2 again and verify that the Maximum Shadow Copy Storage
space is set to 5 GB.
The user should see an immediate return of hard drive space.
