    Hi,

    There is a X._mdf_mssql_dbcc8 file on one of the drives occupying 350GB. I hope it got created due to DBCC CheckDB on database and whether can it be deleted and what information are recorded in it. Will it affect the database if it's been deleted?  Any idea how it got created?

    It gets created during the dbcc checkdb. Did the checkdb complete without any errors?

    Thanks

    Yes it completed without errors and I can see the last modified date is July 2018.

    Then you should be fine to delete it.

    Thanks
