Run out of local disk space on on-premises Exchange server
Hi,
We have Office 365 hybrid configuration with Exchange 2016. I noticed the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Mailbox\Mailbox Database 1872985310 is growing very big on the on-premises Exchange server.
What is this folder for? Can I clean up this folder to reduce the folder size?
I also have 10 GB logging in folder V15. how to clean up this folder as well?
Need help!
Thanks,

Hi Grace Yin, make a full backup of the server to clear the transaction log of the database, you can use the Windows Backup or third party that you can have. (Never clean the log's manually) you can corrupt your database.
Hi Nuno,
Thank you for your reply. I have made full backup of the server by Windows Backup, but the disk space is still low. The used disk size did not reduce.
Please advise!
Many thanks!
Hi Grace Yin ,
The Backup only clear your transaction logs files, you will need to know what files or folders are consuming more space to figure out the root cause.
For example, if your database is very big you need to see what mailboxes are inside and their size.
