Exchange 2003 MDBDATA folder, STF files filling the drive, not being removed

How many are you seeing and what is the time that these files span? These are temporary files used by exchange for content conversion and should clear on their own. If you restart the information store, these should also clear. How long has this been happening? I suggest you restart the IS service and see if you experience the same problem with them not deleting themselves.Tim Harrington | MVP: Exchange | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010, MCITP: Server 2008, MCTS: OCS | Blog: http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com | Twitter: @twharrington

The physical server was restarted this morning 7:30am Eastern. Zero STF files at that time. Currently 2:50 pm Eastern and the server had 269 STF files when I started typing, 276 now. All STF files have timestamps of today with update times within the last hour. We have been having problems of this nature since 2/16/11, the machine was running fine with no recent changes prior to that.

This has been resolved
