Massive Log Files taking up space.

Hi. I'm curious if I can delete the old .log files in [username]/AppData/Local/Box Sync/Logs on Windows10. They are taking up a hefty amount of disk space.

I have 23gb of backed up data but a whopping 12gb of .log files in that folder. There are about 10 large files with one being 6gb alone. It seems like something went haywire.

    Hi Jukes, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    Please note that Sync will keep logs for the last 15 days so if you are syncing a large number of files you can expect to see a large log to go with this.

    These files can be deleted manually if this is taking too much space on the your machine. But if you do, it makes it harder to troubleshoot any issue that may arise as we wouldn't have the log files showing past behavior that could lead to an error, etc.

    Thanks for your post and let us know how else we can help!

    Best,
