I have worked on this issue on and off with 2 few different 2011 WHS systems for awhile now. This forum gave me some good ideas and I wanted to pass along my final working long-term resolution. I found that clearing out the C:\Windows\Temp folder frees up just over 32GB of data a 2011 WHS server that has the standard 60GB partition. I have another 2011 WHS that I extended the partition out to 120GB, which solved problem for a little while but continued to fill the hard drive eventually, and clearing that folder would net 84GB for free space. This folder is not cleared with the Windows Disk Cleanup program for some reason, so I took alternate measures. I found that every 30 minutes a 125M "cab_xxxx_x.<no extension>" file being saved to the C:\Windows\Temp directory. I have not found the source yet, but I did write a .BAT file to clear this folder and added it to a scheduled task to complete once a day to solve the issues on both systems. A previous suggestion to add a command in the autoexec.bat file did not work since this is a server and is hardly ever rebooted/restarted. I also found from a previous suggestion about 7.5GB of junk log files in the C:\Windows\Logs\CBS directory that could be deleted. I have deleted these over a year ago and my problem persisted. Then I completely wiped the 2011 WHS and did a fresh install and recreated my drivepool and moved all my data back. The only software I loaded after the fresh install was Stablebit Drivepool and Dropbox. And somehow after time this problems resurrects unexpectedly. I now created a simple .bat file in Notepad and added this to the task scheduler to run daily and my problems seem to be at bay now for quite awhile. I hope I'm done with this for good BAT FILE: REM Program to delete temp files in the the Windows Temp folder that continue to accumulate quickly and fill the OS drive. @echo off del c:\Windows\Temp\*.* /S /Q If this helps anyone, even one person from the trouble I have endured with these two systems over the years, then it was worth my time to write this out
