In order to work toward limiting the size of your NTA database you need to adjust the retention settings from the web console. Log in and go to Settings> NTA Settings> Database Settings and look at the number of days you have for the retention period. You should also be able to see the current size of the database, make sure those values all make sense with the amount of disk you have available. Also make sure the box is checked for Enable Database Maintenance. If that is already checked then you probably can't reduce the size of the db much without cutting down your retention period. If you want to manually launch the database maintenance then you can see this KB article
