This page explains why you should disable IIS Express logging on your web server, and how to delete any IIS Express logs that may have been recorded so far.


If your Lansweeper web console is hosted by the IIS Express web server, the IIS Express log files below may be generated.

To preserve disk space and improve performance, it is generally recommended that you disable IIS Express logging and then delete the IIS Express logs.

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Documents\IISExpress\Logs\LANSWEEPER.log
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Documents\IISExpress\Logs\LANSWEEPER.log
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\IISExpress\Logs\LANSWEEPER.log
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\IISExpress\Logs\LANSWEEPER.log
