Plethora of logs in Files ~/Library/Logs/Logos

With this little issue I've been having I noticed that there are a number of outdated log files in this Logos log directory stuff thats 3 years old all the way back to 4.5b up to the current version. I.E. Logos4Crash.txt, Logos4Error.log, etc.

So, should these old logs be deleted or just left for posterity?

All I can say is that I delete my old logs.

You can delete all of them (even new ones).

I would keep the Error logs as they contain useful historical info but get rid of anything with Logos4 in the name.

Is that like a plethora of pinatas?

You can and should delete all of them but the most recent ones from your latest session with Logos (even those you only need to keep if you're going to report a bug right now; they'll likely be useless tomorrow if you try to report even what is apparently the same bug happening -- developers will want the logs from the actual session that you just completed when the bug happened).

I say "should" because sometimes people get confused an attach old logs to bug reports, so to eliminate any confusion it's probably best to clean out that directory periodically.
