  The C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\COM\ directory on some of my replication subscriber servers is filling with .err files over time - some are 0.5 GB.

  The files are named in the format [Publisher]-[Publication]-[Subscriber]-UniqueIdentifier.err

  Is the location of these error files configuration i.e. can I get them off the C: drive so it doesn't fill up?

  Is there any cleanup job that goes with these?

  Any advice appreciated. Google only throws up issues where "temporary" files can't be written to this directory due to security, but these .err files are hanging around too long to be temporary.

  We have to delete those manually.
