Audittraceyyyymmdd.trc files growing rapidly

Hello,

I have weird issue. In c:\programfiles\ms sql server\mssql10_50\mssql\data folder audittrace file growing automatically and it consumes lot of diskspace.

I already disable c2 audit trace option from security tab.

And also try to disable audittrace by this command

--this disables a default trace execute sp_configure 'default trace enabled' , 0 RECONFIGURE;

But no luck. Do you ever have this kind of situation before?

How did you resolve this?

How could I delete audittrace.trc file.Can I delete by hitting delete button?

Thanks
