Our company has a NAS box that currently has 375 MB of space left on the C:
(the system drive) which has a total disk space of 5 G. The manufacturer
(Iomega) said that we should have at least 2 gig free with how they
configured it (and we have not installed additional software or put anything
on the C and couldn't point me in the right direction other than to take a
look around and see if a file seemed out of the ordinary. So I've deleted
the temp int folder and now I'm looking at some Temp folders that seem to
have a lot of files in them and some with rather large files - all with time
stamps of over a year ago which means probably when the box was originally
setup or imaged since we just got it a month ago. Is it safe to delete the
contents of Temp folders in Server 2000?

Thanks!

Yes. Anything dated earlier than the last boot time is safe to delete.
