Can I delete C:/WSUS?

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

That is your WSUS database file so you don't want to delete it.

You can move it using the detach/copy/reattach... it's documented in the
SBS blog
