I too have the same issue, and that answered one of my questions, the next is does the TSM server service itself have to be brought down before deleting them?

Chris - Those are TSM server crash dump files in Windows, from when the server was running as a Windows service, and when it was not. If the info in them is no longer needed in pursuing the crash case, then I believe they can be disposed of to reclaim needed space. Richard Sims, at Boston University
