Hi,
I am running server 2012 R2 and we have servers located at different sites with DFS replication enabled. However one our site with Server 2012 R2 has this strange issue (started a week back) - Hard disk space keeps changing randomly and running out of disk space.
Total Storage on Hard drive is 1.7TB. When I select all the folder and files including Hidden files/folders its appears to be 1TB but the hard disk keeps running out of disk space. I have tried deleting some files to make some free storage but as soon I delete anything it keeps filling up. Also, the hard drive space keeps changing (sometimes it shows 23MB, 160MB, 715MB, and then again back to 50MB, 5MB and so on, it keeps changing to different numbers) and also goes out of storage (0MB) and disk stopped working, then I need to delete something to get going. It is only happening on one server.
Folder stats
I have tried running different tools as listed below:
1. Ran disk clean up utility (no luck - can't find anything)
2. WindirStat (Total Storage 1.7TB)
3. Ran the SFC/ scannow.
4. Rebooted server (few times).
4. Have done disk fragmentation.
5. Shadow copy is disabled.
I will be performing MalwareByte Antimalware scan on server overnight for any malwares.
Could you please assist with any other suggestion(s)?
Regards,
Mitesh Sudan
