How to delete windows .edb file, when file size is increasing and hard drive is getting full to capacity.
1* Check the size of the .edb file which can be located in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb
2* Search for "Indexing Options" (Control Panel > Indexing Options) Open it.
3* Search "services" (or run "services.msc") and find "Windows Search". Stop the service.
4* Delete the Windows.edb file
4* Click "Modify" in the already-open "Indexing Options" panel, then click "Delete and Rebuild" for the index. You can also specify a different drive to store the index on.
Thanks.
Hope this helps.
