Yes, IF you have your books (and so all these log files) in a
directory(file folder) that contains just them << if there are only a

Remember, you can easily delete EVERYTHING in a directory, so the
problem is just how to keep what you want to keep.
The way I usually do this is to temporarily create another directory
and copy into it the current books and say the last few log files. I
then CHECK that this has happened OK << for example, open the books in
THAT file using "file open" where you can specify what you want opened
>> Now delete all in the original directory. Copy back in from the
temporary directory. CHECK that this worked. Now you can delete the
temporary directory. Notice that I checked before every irreversible
operation. Being that careful or not is up to you.
