I have an old PC with 18.6GB drive. drwtsn32.log suddenly grew to 6.1GB which
leaves me no space. How do I clear the file. I have tried running .exe but no
events showed.

Such a drive is really *tiny* by today's standards. Anything you do to
save space is likely to be no more than a stopgap measure. If I were
in your shoes, I would take advantage of the current very low prices
for hard drives, and buy a new, much bigger one.
 
Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System
Information, Tools, Dr Watson and verify that the box before "Append to
existing log" is NOT checked. This means the next time the log is
written it will overwrite rather than add to the existing file.

Thanks. Freed up 6.1GB. Don't know what will happen to the good Doctor but,
on the other hand, woudn't know what to do with him anyways.
 
The doctor will generate a new log file the next time one is needed.
Maybe a better question is how come you generate so many errors? ;-)
 
New events just append to the old log file.
