Overview

If the disk space on a server is insufficient, the server running speed will be affected, which will further affect user experience. You can handle the disk insufficiency in either of the following ways:

• Clear the disk space.
  • Clearing Disk Space Using the System Built-in Cleanup Tool
  • Uninstalling Unnecessary Programs on Control Panel
• Expand the disk capacity.
  • See Expanding Capacity of an In-use EVS Disk in the Elastic Volume Service User Guide.
  • See Expanding Capacity of an Available EVS Disk in the Elastic Volume Service User Guide.
