Need some help in deleting unwanted files in Windows Server 2003

hello all,

Our server c drive is about 96.5 mb. I am running out of room and the backups are not being done. A while back, a boss , who i cant get a hold of, walked me through in deleting some uneccessary files. the ones that i remembered that took up alot of space were files that were create after a backup was done. i think it was some type of catalog file. I tried to do a search for files created on a certain day but nothing.
any help is appreciated

thanks

Well this will get rid of all those not needed temp files.

Just unselect the "install yahoo toolbar"

nope.. pretty sure they mean MB.. The problem with alot of preconfigured servers I see is that they give the "C drive" like a 10gb partition or sometimes less... Which programs by default, such as SQL use unless set to use other drives... Believe me I've crashed many a server HDD
