From: Psychopasta on 19 Jul 2010 20:32 Hi, I'm running SBS2008 Standard, with all service packs and updates. I have WSUS installed (of course) and moved the WSUS installation to my large D: drive where it happily consumes 15 GB of data. I notices that I have a C:\WSUS folder that takes up 3.7 GB, which isn't the end of the world but I'd like to save that space if possible. It contains C:\WSUS\UpdateServicesDbFile\SUSDB.mdf. Is is safe to delete this since "everything" has moved to the D drive? Thanks, - Mark
