You can just delete them BUT that only hides the problem, you really need to look into why they are happening in the first place.
Cleaning up D:\CM_FSC\Logs\CrashDumps ???

I found out i have 46 gigs of CrashDumps, dating back to 1/1/2019. Obviously i don't need them all, the latest one i have is from last year.
They are located in D:\CM_FSC\Logs\CrashDumps
Is their a process that auto cleans this folder up? or is it safe to right click delete the oldest?
Thoughts?

2022-02-11T14:35:01.44+00:00 Hi @Garth Jones
Their has not been a crashdumb since 8/29/2021, so i doubt the data would be any use to me.
So they are safe to manually delete? I just noticed it because it is being backed up during the site maintenance task.

I agree with @Garth Jones . In my opinion, we can keep watching for a while. We can consider deleting it if the log has not been generated for a long time. Please notify us of any subsequent updates to this log.
Thanks for your time in advance.
Regards,
Rita

In general , we recommend you to investigate them and in some cases, you may take a backup and then delete them. -
