Option 3: Empty Recycle Bin and decrease the disk usage size. Option 5: Run the Windows Clean Manager. Windows comes already with a built in cleaner that does simple basic tasks to free up disk space.
This step is most important to help fix Server low disk space issue. To delete junk files and reclaim disk space, Windows Server has a native Disk Cleanup utility, which is able to remove most of junk and unnecessary files safely.
Of course you can use third party system optimization software, but this native tool is well enough. If you receive error that there's no cleanmgr, it means that Disk Cleanup is not installed in this server, follow the steps to enable Disk Cleanup on Server After these steps, you'll get some free disk space and Windows Server Low Disk Space warning will disappear.
However, it doesn't mean you've solved this problem completely. As I explained above, this alert will pop up again when free space is exhausted, so you'd better increase C drive free space from other partitions. In most of servers, there's plenty of free space in another data volume such as D.
Then you can shrink this volume with some tool, part of free space will be changed to Unallocated and all files keep intact. Finally, add this Unallocated space to system C drive.
