Which log files can I delete? Can Dropbox delete them?

J Harold W.

Is there a way to determine which log files to delete?

Also, can I tell dropbox to delete these old log files?

Thanks for the info. To answer your original question, there isn't a way to determine which log files are safe to delete, nor is it possible to tell Dropbox to delete old log files automatically.

You would need a script or possibly a setting in the accounting program to automatically delete unneeded log files.

Hey @J Harold W.! Thanks for your post.

Can you clarify which log files you’re referring to exactly?

Feel free to send over a screenshot of what you’re seeing, too.

Ping me, once you’re ready.

none of those showing. But as time goes by there will be a lot of those like the first .log file. If the date is different, are they safe to delete. I am just trying to keep the h&j folder from continually growing in size.

Thanks

Hi @J Harold W., are these log files generated by the Dropbox desktop application or service itself, or by another program?

They are generated by Gnucash, and accounting program.
