[FONT=&quot]Hi there[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]We have this machine running on Windows 8.1 that have an issue with spacing due to the Windows.edb can grow up to 30 GB space. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]We know how to fix it temporarily by shutting down the Wsearch service and delete that windows.edb file. We've noticed that this symptoms happened when the machine is offsite. This machine has a File History backup that backing into NAS at office.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]We also had a look on the following KB - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/kb/2838018[/FONT][FONT=&quot] and nothing specifically about Windows 8.1 and we did apply the KB 2836988 and applied and it didn't work due to Windows 8.1 NOT 8.0 RT.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I'm appreciated your feedback.

Thanks[/FONT]
