You can delete the larger log files by using the command, where <log> is the name of the log file(s) you wish to delete:
rm –vf <log> [<log>]
WARNING: This command will remove the log file you enter. There is no warning or questions prompting you to verify what is being removed. This step is NOT reversible. If you are unsure of which directory you are in, you should NOT run this command.
CAUSE
In certain situations, the Unitrends logs may consume a lot of disk space. This can happen when all logs are kept for extended periods of time and/or when log files are large in size.
