My WHSv1 system partion is the usual 20GB. Noticed that I currently have 2GB free space, and the C:\WINDOWS\Temp directory is 8GB in size. Should I thin this out, and if so what's the safest way?

This came to my attention after I installed Serviio + Java and WHS ground to a halt and complained about no space. Reinstalled and specified the D: drive for the Serviio transcoding temp folder and everything seems to be OK WHS-wise. Not sure if the large WHS temp directory will cause trouble going forward. The Serviio temp folder on C: is empty, BTW.

Run into this problem quite a few times. My biggest culprit was the logs folder which was taking up between 5-10GB in space at a time, so I usually go through that folder periodically and clean up.

I also hate the fact that you cannot increase the C: drive greater then 20GB...

I've got bunches of the files below in the temp folder - definitely the worst offenders in terms of size and quantity. OK to manually delete them, or is there a safe WHS housekeeping utility? Will also clear some logs.

I usually just manually delete the temp files, and for logs I use WHSToolkit
