One of our Windows 2008 server almost out of the spaces. After searching, I found WER folder is using over 37GB spaces. How can I clearn it?

After researching the issue, I found that Windows Error Reporting (WER) is a flexible event-based feedback infrastructure designed to gather information about the hardware and software problems that Windows can detect, report the information to Microsoft, and provide users with any available solutions.

If we do not need the information, we can use the registry to disable it.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting

For more information, we can read the article below:

Yes, you can delete the file in the folder. However, I still suggest that you backup the folder in case you need it
