Can I delete these log files???

[matthewataylor]

I ran into some disk space issues about six months ago. I found in my mdbdata folder that I had about 2GB of xxxxx.log files, each one about 5,100k in size. I moved most of them to a different disk and I would now like to delete them permanently. Do I need these for anything??

Thanks...

This is on 2003, but the process is the same thread955-960200
You don't 'need' the older ones, unless you run into a serious crash 5 minutes after you deleted them (Murphy's Law!).

If you do an online backup of the database those log files will disappear, and you'll be sure that everything is properly in order if you have to do disaster recovery.
