Server 2012 R2 System Disk Full (Unknown File)

disk-space-utilizationwindows-server-2012-r2

The other day the system disk filled up due to IIS log files.

There were massive log files associated with the default web site.

I cleared these logs and disabled logging, the disk had plenty of free space at this point.

Now the disk is totally full again, I've checked WinDirStat and it reports 194gb of in the root of the system disk.

I can't see the file(s) in explorer or winhex. I've run chkdsk.

How can I recover this disk space?

OK turns out after I turned off IIS logging I started getting logs in System32/LogFiles/HTTPERR

These weren't shown in WindDirStat due to permissions, I think treesize free was a good idea from Martin, I just didn't have disk space to install it!
