Local settings temp folder filling up

Hello,
today I noticed that the C: drive on our EV server almost filled up for no apparent reason. After investigating I found that the folder in question was C:\Documents and Settings\ev service acct\Local Settings\Temp, this location contains 103,000 items. Of that 103,000 item list are folders such as EV_CVT_TEMP_# also there are temp files that end with SRC.tmp and DST.tmp, lastly there is a ton of ExchangePerflog_#.dat files? I noticed when this folder grew rapidly out of the blue the EVConverterSandbox.exe was also using a large amount of CPU. This lasted for only a short time then as quickly as it started, everything went back to normal and the folder size dropped to what it was normally. Just wondering if anyone is familiar with this process and what is actually happening, we are not syncing at this time or running a scheduled archive? Is there a setting to adjust this to not put our C: drive in jeopardy?
Thanks,
Travis
  • If the EVConverterSanbox was using process sounds like someone may have done a manual archive or pst migration.

    You move the Documents and Settings temp location in the Environment varibles section in your system properties.

  • they are often memory mapped files used during document conversion.
    The perflog files is a known Outlook issues. Pretty sure that we have a technote on them
  • In order to protect c:\ set the temp and tmp system and local variables in the windows properties page (environmental settings). Be sure to change both locations.
