Yes, you can delete them. Yes, they can be important to keep. I just finished recovering six months of usage statistics from our dspace.log files, after a configuration change caused DSpace to stop recording usage in Solr. So I'm glad that I saved those logs. DSpace won't care if you delete old logs. If you do keep them for some reason, you don't have to keep them on the same volume, or online at all. You only have to keep them as long as they have some value to you. Like other business records, you should think about how you would use them, then create a well-reasoned retention policy and a regular procedure for destroying them when the policy requires it. -- Mark H.
