Use the auto-archive but do not instruct WUG to handle deletion for you..  there is a 
known memory leak here.

In answer to the question "Can I just get rid of all .TAB", the answer is "Yes".  Each 
TAB file is named with a datestamp, so it's easy to decide which ones to get rid of 
based on age.  You can even delete the current TAB files whilst WUG is running,  if 
that's what you want to do.  The only exception are the syslog logs.. the syslog 
service locks the current log.  If you wish to delete the current syslog log, stop the 
syslog service,  delete the log, and then restart the syslog service.

Check out the Auto-Archive function in the LOGS setup for the program.
Set the longest times you feel you might need them and let the system
auto-archive them for you... :)

Hi,

Is there a way to delete old logs files? Can I just get rid of all
.TAB?
I am asking because it takes longer and longer to access a log file for
a device and sometimes it just crash because the file is probably too
big by now.

Or is there a way to make sure it will only log up to a week and
everything older will be deleted...

Thanks a lot.
