Does anyone have a safe suggestion for cleaning up entries in these system files or purging them. The files are taking up a lot of disk space.

I think you can delete them as almost same information is there in database which we can check using Admin Utility.

If deleting sounds little scary, you can zip these files and keep it on separate hard disk. Can maintain versions...but logs written when system was running fine would be of no use and could be deleted later. I think there is no need to keep logs older than one month.

These are just my views but I dont know how people manage big log files in other softwares also.

Thanks

Thanks Andy. Also thanks to JMac.
JMac also confirmed that these files could be deleted. But, of course, should be done after shutting down workflow. In addition, JMac recommended that this probably should be done routinely.

JMac also recommended care and maintenance of the system and error tables by utilizing the fmcautil, which, of course, is done while Workflow is running.
