Disk space Usage

[Heath]

I have a separate computer that I use to host my 3CX system.. Other than the Operating system and Wireshark, only the 3CX software is on the computer. Everything else was removed... The hard drive is 10GB.. Now I've used this computer since day 1, and I believe it was at 50% when I first loaded the software. Over time the disk usage increased, which I thought was due to the various updates being made. But now lately there has been a sufficient increase in the disk drive and according to The management portal says that the disk drive is 95% full... Has there been so many updates that the software needs almost 10GB??? I have 2 SIP Trunks and 4 Phones.. I didn't think over 10GB is now needed to run the PBX for what I have.. Any suggestions here...

Usual suspects:
- Backups
- Recordings

Other:
- Prompts
- Voicemail
- Firmware
- Uploaded images/files in chat
- Logs (3CX + System)
- O.S apt archived files

Backup are going to another computer. Voicemail is cleared out. Prompts haven’t changed since day 1. We don’t use the chat.

Hi @Heath,

Have you set your logging level to verbose by chance? You can check this in the Dashboard >> Activity Log >> Settings?

 

[Heath]

It’s set to low

@Heath,

Can you PM me the license key to check? Was the 3CX ISO used when installing?

Something else to note: https://www.3cx.com/docs/recommended-hardware-specifications-for-3cx/

"Allocate at least 30GB for the 3CX base system installation."

 

[Heath]

Sorry. I made an error on my hard drive. My hard driver is 100 GB. NOT 10 GB. But as you said need at least 30 GB. and I’m at 95% full. All voice mail is cleared out. No recordings and backups are on a totally different computer.

is this windows?

Have you got hibernation or standby enabled?

How big is your paging file?

Use something like Folder Tree Size to audit your files to find where the bulk is being used.

Sometimes AV programs like ESET can f up and end up downloading a load of virus defs so check that too if you're running ESET.

 

[Heath]

Yes. Windows. No hibernation or standby. Or ESET. All that’s on the computer is Windows. Wire shark and 3cx. No word, excell, outlook. Nothing else but the OS wire shark and 3cx. That’s it.

It would definitely be worth a shot to use a utility like Kieferschild mentioned.

Since you are on Windows it wouldn't hurt to open windows disk cleanup and see if the windows update catalog is filling it up.
