Removing a messaging engine from the configuration does not automatically delete the file store’s files. You need to also find and delete the log file, the permanent store file and the temporary store file from the disk in order to reclaim disk space.
C:\{USER_INSTALL_ROOT}\filestores\..\messagingengine0\..\logfileand
C:\{USER_INSTALL_ROOT}\filestores\..\messagingengine1\..\logfileThe two log files coexist in the same file stores directory. You do not have to delete the old files if you choose.
After deleting the files left by the redundant file store, free disk space becomes available to your file system.
