Here are five solutions and in Chinese to free up space on the C drive in Windows Server 2008 (R2) in UTF-8 encoding: 1. Remove unnecessary files and programs: The first step to freeing up C drive space is to uninstall unused applications through "Control Panel" or "Settings" using the "Uninstall a Program" feature. Also, check "My Documents" or other personal folders, and move important files to external storage devices or cloud storage. 2. Clean temporary files: Windows Server 2008 (R2) generates many temporary files that occupy significant space. Use the "Disk Cleanup" tool, which helps locate and delete these files. Simply search for "Disk Cleanup," then run the tool selecting the C drive. 3. Compress files and folders: Another way to save space is by compressing files and folders. Right-click the item you want to compress, choose "Send to" > "Compressed (zipped) folder." This creates a smaller archive file, releasing space on the C drive. 4. Manage System Restore Points: While System Restore Points are useful for system recovery, they can also consume a lot of space. Access "System Properties," select the "System Protection" tab, and configure the restore point settings to reduce their storage usage. 5. Use third-party cleanup : If the above methods aren't sufficient, consider using third-party cleanup utilities like CCleaner or Clean Master. These scan your system deeply, identifying and cleaning up unnecessary files, registry errors, and other junk data. Remember to back up important data before any cleanup process to prevent accidental loss.

Got a question from social.technet.microsoft.com.

I'm unable to free up space on my C drive server. I've enabled the Desktop Experience service and ran disk cleanup. After removing all previous updates, it only freed a very small amount of disk space. Defragmenting the disk also didn't help much, as it remains at 52% fragmentation even after several full runs. The Windows folder on the C drive currently occupies 92GB! I believe it's taking up a lot of space. What should I do now? Do I need to add more hard disks?
