Is it safe to delete CiFiles folder on Windows Server 2008 R2

I have made several Windows Server 2008 R2 installations recently. This servers have only one role, a File Services role. With these role, I have installed couple of Role services:

- File Server Resource Manager (enables you to generate storage reports, configure quotas, and define file screening policies)
- Windows Search Service (permits fast file searches on this server from clients that are compatible with Windows Search Service)

After couple of weeks of usage, I've noticed that my C:\ drive was filling up very fast. With the lack of a free space on servers boot partition, I have run a report to see which files occupied boot partition which was set to 32GB, which is more than enough for Windows Server 2008 R2 machine.

 

How to change your Volume License (VL) key with Windows Server 2003 or R2

Recently I wanted to install R2 on a Volume License copy of Windows Server 2003. When I tried our R2 key the system denied that the key was valid and would not install. Darn it, what key did they use to install? How can I tell? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889713/en-us
