Default Deleting .1, .2 etc. from /var/log
Is it safe to delete the 'old' .1, .2, .3 etc. files from the /var/log directory?

I've got a log of '+30 MB' files in my /var/log directory!

You can delete these files safely.

Thanks till,

How about the /var/log/maillog.ispconfigsave file?
It's over 88MB!

You can delete that, too. If you do not need that log, you can disable "Save Log" under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email.
