WinXP is growing up FAST

[member11]

I notice 1 file in my winxp SP2 computer at c:\windows\system32\logfiles\wmi\. The file name is trace.log which is eating my hard drive space at a faster rate.

When i tried to delete it, it tells me that it's used by some process which i don't know which one.

i tried to delete it in SAFE MODE but couldn't do it.

if you know the solution for this problem, pls post it here.

thank you very much.

Inflated TRACE.LOG problem, how to fix.

After running the MS Bootvis utility, the file C:\WINDOWS\System32\LogFiles\WMI\trace.log becomes hugely inflated.

The file shrinks on reboting but may rapidly grow to a few gig's in size, to cure the problem run BootVis again and click Trace-->Stop Tracing, the file will now stop growing and may be safely deleted.
