Disk space getting full in Azure VM

Question

_{Wednesday, December 5, 2018 7:06 AM}

Hi,

My Azure VM (Windows Server 2012 R2 DataCenter) started to take disk space all of a sudden.

I cleaned up some space by clearing log. But disk space is getting full in minutes. 

Can anyone please suggest? 

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I do see the same issue with Temporary storage disk in VM.

But I have files no more than 250MB andthe disk size is 55GB. Couldn't find any hidden files which might be taking space. Any idea why this is happening from time to time ?

Microsoft engineer advised me to install WINDIRSTAT (https://windirstat.net/) tool.

Browse permanent Links and select Current installer à windirstat.net/wds_current_setup.exe

Run this tool on the problematic server and you will find the cause of the issue.
