Windows Error Reporting taking up space!

article #615, updated 4007 days ago

It may occur that this location:

%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue

(on most systems, thus:)

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue

starts to fill with gigs and gigs of queued reports for Windows Error Reporting. The folder’s contents can be deleted safely. If you want to turn W.E.R. off on a server:

  1. Go to Administrative Tools, Server Manager.
  2. Go to the Server Manager top level page, the very bottom, make sure you can see the whole Resources and Support section.
  3. Click into Configure Windows Error Reporting and turn it altogether off.
