Disk Space decreasing rapidly

I have a windows 2003 ent edition server with exchange 2003. It seems that my
E: drive with exchange and symantec installed is rapidly eating up diskspace.
MY information store gets a little bigger each day but not as big as the
space thats getting ate up. Nothing shows up on the virus scan. All my
service packs are up to date. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for your time

Where are the transaction logs located?
How many transaction logs are there?
What else is on the E drive and can you find a folder that is much
bigger than common sense says it should be?

I went thru each folder and wrote down the total space and compared it a day
later and nothing seems to be going up but disk space is still decreasing.

Well some folder must be increasing in size.

Restart the MSExchangeIS service, then check again. (The file size for the
db is not updated until the file is closed).
