You should just be able to remove /etc/logrotate.d/interchange and have done
with it. You should probably clean up whatever package belongs with the
file - if you're not using it you prolly don't want it there at all. At a
guess I would say that your /var/log/interchange directory contains a /lot/
of files and it would return - eventually.
