What is the full path of this file?

Odds are very good that it's not the "URL filter", but the Web cache.

Subject: [isalist] Deleting URL Cache?

 

Hello all-

 

I've recently been troubleshooting a different issue on my TMG server.
Someone on the list asked me if I was doing URL filtering. I realized my
trial subscription had run out and I wasn't planning to buy a real
subscription, so I turned off URL filtering. Then I noticed that my C drive
was suddenly almost full. I figured out that there's a new file on the C
drive that's 60Gb-the URL cache. I'm pretty sure it wasn't there before I
turned off URL caching. I Googled how to get rid of it and found an MS
article that said to turn off the TMG firewall service and then delete the
file. Did that. As soon as I started the firewall service back up, though,
the URL cache reappeared, again sapping almost the entire free space on the
C drive.

 

So how can I get rid of the URL cache entirely? (I haven't tried turning URL
filtering back on to see if the cache file goes away. I could do that. I'm
trying to keep the processing going on on the firewall to a minimum.)

 

Thanks,

Rob
