Removing log files

With time, the log files for the Web and FTP server can consume a large amount of disk space. To conserve disk space, you should periodically review and remove your log files.

To remove log files:

  1. Go to the folder operations section of the File Manager.

  2. On the Folder Operation toolbar, click Delete.

  3. Navigate to the w3svc (IIS Web) and msftpsvc (IIS FTP) folders inside the LogFiles folder.

  4. Important: A separate folder is generated for each day's logs. The folder name will have a number that is randomly generated. View the dates of the log files inside the folder before removing any folder.

    You cannot remove log files for the current day.

  1. Select the check box corresponding to the folder to be removed.

  2. Select the Delete all subdirectories check box in the right pane of the File Manager.

  3. Click Delete selected files and folders to delete the all the files.

A message is displayed regarding the status of the performed action.
