CBS 103.6 GB..
LOGS 103.6GB...

First let take a different look at things. I have no idea how well SpaceSniffer works.
103 gb of CBS log is a huge, very huge amount.

Sure you can get rid of these logs.

My concern is that program is calling them CBS logs but are they really CBS logs. One or two GB of CBS logs is a lot. I don't know how one would go about gathering that many CBS logs.

From my system.

Ok,thank you..i will check the tutorial..in the mean time,what is CBS log and the another Log file? how and why they occupied this much space?

 

[schwarzennegger]

Sure you can get rid of these logs.

Thanks..What about the LOG file..it occupies exactly the same storage of CBS?

Logs are logs. If you care to look at them, then they serve a purpose. Else they are just dead meat.

Ok,how can i find these files to delete it?

 

[Layback Bear]

Wolfgang is correct if they really are logs they can be removed.

Here is a program that I know has worked for many and I trust.

WinDirStat - Windows Directory Statistics

WinDirStat - Windows Directory Statistics

thank you will download that.

In WinDirStat you can delete files directly. Just right click on the colored block belonging to the file and you will see. Be aware that WinDirStat does not show restore points. For those you have to check with an elevated command prompt and this command

vssadmin list shadows

That will list all the restore points (shadows) you have - if any. If you want to delete them, this is the command:

vssadmin delete shadows

Thanks for the picture.
It shows that Windows 7 is only seeing 13% free space on your "C" partition.
You don't want any more on the "C" partition.

Now we just need to know if your total of 206 GB logs is truly logs that can be removed.
Then try to understand how those logs got on your "C" partition.

 

[Layback Bear]

Thank Wolfgang I learned something, which always makes me happy.
I didn't know that WinDirStat didn't show restore points.

@schwarzennegger

When was the last time you rebooted or restarted your computer??

Jack, I am glad you could enhance your already vast knowledge.

That is a reach to get me in the vast knowledge club.

I see 2 restore points. That should amount to less than 2GB. Check with this command:

vssadmin list shadowstorage
