Clearing Log Files

[Rashmi]

Could you please specify which all directories carry's the additional non operational files which can be deleted to reduce the disk usage.

My instance is consuming more space and I can find a lot of disk space has been consumed by confluence Home directory/logs . Lot of them are pretty old and some have .current extension.

Confluence Application Directory /logs  : this folder has lot of files in below format: catalina.YYYY-MM-DD.log , confluence10042019-stdout.YYYY-MM-DD.log,          gc-2019-10-05_00-40-12.log.0.current , localhost.YYYY-MM-DDlog

Confluence Application Directory /temp : folder also have lot of files.

Also i have the old versions of the confluence which are not being used any more. Can i remove the temp files and log files from there?

Would it be fine to delete few old files directly from the OS  ? 

Would deleting any thing from these directories affect the audit logs ?
