I have loads of space over 3 drives and the one I use is the c drive (19.5 full and 58.0 free). I delete the temp files regularly but have never thought to delete the log files, so I'll have a look later for them and delete the old ones.

I don't do this a lot but didn't realise this so I'll only do it from now when I think there could be a problem.
