Description: Purging logs is the process of deleting old log files to free up space on the system and maintain optimal performance. Logs are files that store information about activities and events occurring in various systems or applications, and can include data on errors, warnings, transactions, and other significant events. Over time, these files can accumulate and take up considerable disk space, which can affect system performance and make it difficult to manage current logs. Purging logs is an essential practice in system maintenance, as it not only helps free up space but also facilitates problem identification by reducing the amount of data that needs to be reviewed. This process can be performed manually or through automated scripts, allowing system administrators to efficiently manage logs and ensure that only relevant data is retained. In development and production environments, regular log purging is crucial for maintaining system integrity and efficiency, as well as for complying with data retention policies and security regulations.
