how move above files different location , drive, stored on c: drive , filling fast.

to move database files requires to:

  1. stop update services service.
  2. detach susdb database.
  3. physically move susdb.mdf , susdb_log.ldf files new destination.
  4. re-attach susdb database.
  5. start update services service.

however... database that contributing excessive disk consumption, more storage consumed ~\wsuscontent folder.

cleaning out wsuscontent folder of unneeded files first requires removing unneeded update approvals , using server cleanup wizard delete files. suspect more long-term results maintaining approvals , regular use of server cleanup wizard.

also, ~\wsuscontent folder can moved volume using wsusutil movecontent utility.
