What can I remove on my Enterprise ERP server 's drives to free up space?

NOTES:

• You can run a disk space analyzer program such as TreeSize

• or WinDirStat to see the size of all folders

• and subfolders and break it down to file level

• When clearing unneeded files, it is best to permanently delete them, so they do not get sent to the Recycle Bin.
  

  • Hold down the Shift key, then delete the item normally.

The following files/folders can be cleared:

• Data drive (we will use D: as an example drive letter):

  • You can press the Delete key, choose the Delete button from the ribbon, or right-click > then click Delete 

    • Are you sure you want to permanently delete these items? Click Yes

  • Alternatively, from the File Explorer ribbon, click the Delete dropdown, then select Permanently Delete

• If there are a large number of files (such as GAS logs), the files may need to be cleared in multiple groups, so server resources do not freeze up

General server files/folders that can be cleared

• OS Drive (Usually C:):

  • C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles

    • IIS logs, only needed if we are troubleshooting IIS issues

    • We recommend clearing anything older than 30 days

    • Temp staging files produced by Windows during processing

  • This is the nightly backup folder and typically only has a few backup files such as dbexport.bak, dbexport_tylerci.bak, and dbexport_tylercm.bak

    • The standard configuration is for these files to overwrite themselves each night with a new backup. If a file size is growing very quickly, there may be a misconfiguration in the maintenance plan.

    • If you are concerned about any of these file sizes, please contact TSM support

  • We rarely delete files from this folder!!

    • If there are additional database backups and files located here, the CLIENT MUST verify they are not needed before they can be deleted

  • Note: Use D:\TylerTempBackups for temporary backups

• D:\dbexport\differentials

  • Differentials backups typically taken every 2 hours during the day

  • Files older than 23 hours should be removed by a step in the maintenance plan

• D:\mssqldata\MSSQLxxxxx\MSSQL\DATA
