Detected OS
✅ Rotate, don't just delete
Use rotation (logrotate, journald vacuum) so logs are capped automatically. Deleting active log files can break services that hold the handle open.
🖥️ Servers fill fastest
On a VPS, runaway nginx/app logs are a top cause of 'disk full'. Set rotation in your deploy so it never happens again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will clearing logs break anything?
Not if you rotate or truncate instead of deleting active files. Truncating to zero (truncate -s 0) keeps the file handle valid so services keep writing safely.
Should I clear logs on my server?
Better to set up rotation (logrotate or journald limits) so logs self-cap. Manual clearing is a fix for an immediate disk-full, not a long-term strategy.
