How to check what is taking up most of my space in my C drive of my Orion Server?

My server is running out of space on my C drive and wanted to know what I could do to free up space. It is also running SQL Server Express.

I usually use something like WinDirStat so that you can drill into the storage.

If you wanted to spot check some places: SQL Server Express the database instance would be limited to 10 GB. Logs, SQL logs, etc.

Logs for Orion are located at C:\Program Data\SolarWinds\Logs (Program Data is a hidden folder).

Or it could be anything in between really and is all relatively dependent on how much space you had on your C Drive to begin with.

my guess would be:

If you have NCM, by default SW stores the backups on the C:\programdata\SolarWinds folder
On the same folder there are lots of logs (as mentioned by jrouviere) review them. You can change logs settings using the tool LogAdjuster (installed on the SolarWinds server)
I would also check the c:\Program files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion folder
