Cireson.Platform.Host is eating up space

Cireson.Platform.Host is eating up lots of space on our hard drive. Its 32Gb of log files going back to April. What can we remove safely to free up space on the drive? How critical are those files? Any suggestions on better areas to free up space on our Cireson server?
Thanks for the help!

Just delete them.It is one of the files I add to a daily job that searches out all the logs files generated from SCSM,IIS,Cireson apps. and deletes anything older than 30days.6 -

If at all interested here is a script for keeping the environment "clean".Couple notes.All Workflow logging from SCSM/Cireson (ie Notify Analyst logging and Asset Import) I have going to the local server E:\Logging\[Workflow Name]Also I have a weekly script that runs in the middle of the night that stops all SCSM services and the portal. I have it rename the webconsole.log and cachebuilder.log so the size doesn't balloon on me. (Which it has in the past)Make note of the -Recurse on some paths vs others. Some of the Cireson paths have files in nested folders that need to remain.This is setup via daily task manager. Helps make use I don't run out of file space just for logging files.HTH$scsmServers = @("server-scms131","server-scms132","server-scms133","server-scms134","server-scms135","server-scms136","server-sccp131","server-sccp132","server-sccp133","server-sccp134","server-sccp135","server-scwk131","server-scwk132")

To clarify, are you using Task Scheduler on the server or some other method of running the script?
