I installed MS SQL server developer 2019 edition last year. but now I find it occupied almost 300G on my C drive.
the total size of my C drive is 500G, so I have to uninstall this SQL server 2019 instance to get enough space to install new Windows patches.
what's wrong with my SQL sever developer 2019 installation?

Check the database sizes. One or more of them may have grown. Maybe time to shrink some log files.

I used a free tool to check the file size and find the SQL log file folder is with the biggest size:
5.| PATH: Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.Peaker\MSSQL\Log | SIZE: 346.30 Gb | DEPTH: 5
how to shrink these log folder size?

Checking table sizes in a database:
DECLARE @str VARCHAR(500) SET @str = 'exec sp_spaceused ''?''' EXEC sp_msforeachtable @command1=@str
Shrinking the database and logs:
ALTER DATABASE [database name] SET RECOVERY SIMPLE WITH NO_WAIT;
DBCC SHRINKFILE('database name', 1);
ALTER DATABASE [database name] SET RECOVERY FULL WITH NO_WAIT;

thank you for your tips! I learned new things from you.
I think I find the reason: my PolyBase feature is not installed correctly, so it caused SQL server keep dumping big files.
Now I fixed this problem.

As Jacquers said, it's probably your database files. Specifically, if you have the "recovery model" set to "full", and you're not taking regular backups of the transaction logs, they will just keep growing.
You can check the log_reuse_wait_desc column in the sys.databases management view to check for other reasons why the transaction logs might not be shrinking.
SELECT name, recovery_model_desc, log_reuse_wait_desc FROM sys.databases ORDER BY name;

I run this query and here is my result:
Name recovery_model_desc log_reuse_desc
AdventureWorks SIMPLE NOTHING
master SIMPLE NOTHING
model FULL NOTHING
msdb SIMPLE NOTHING
tempdb SIMPLE NOTHING
Do I have any issue with these tables?

Have we come to a conclusion yet ? I think it will be difficult to police for several reasons:-
1) Who decides who will be handicapped
2) At what point do you stop being handicapped.
3) At what point do you stop benefiting from a handicap.
4) It's only a bit of fun.
Thoughts peeps ?

Agreed. Something that hasn't even been mentioned is that by the time someone in UTC-5 sees it, it's usually been solved if it's going to be solved at all. But given that most of the non-UK participants are in Oz, I wouldn't ask for this to change. Moving it to noon UTC, for example, would put it at 10pm in eastern Oz.

Results won't be in until Tuesday: The Lounge[^] as it was late on a Friday when it was suggested.
But ... the results are 100% "for" handicapping so far. I haven't voted yet as I suspect that if it does get in it'll end up with more work for me and I'm against that on general principles. 
Policing? Dunno. If we decide it's needed, I'll think about it.
(4) is pretty important, I think!

I voted yes initially, but having thought some more I think we should leave it as it is and just ban me and you from the competition

Well it has the advantage of being easy to police ...

Agree re (4) - that should be the guiding principle
I had not considered 'policing' when I made the suggestion (and it was just a suggestion). I had assumed that CPers were honourable people who would just do what was intended without needing any oversight. Obviously, they could forget, but that's OK.
Sorry to have opened a can of worms!
