Cleaning up log files from old backups

Hello,

I'm looking at my NAS where I store my scheduled proxmox backups I see log files in some cases dating back to 2013 with a name like - vzdump-qemu-100-2014_01_10-01_30_02.log. I can see log files that correspond to my recent backups. It would appear that if I set the number of backups I want to keep in Proxmox, Proxmox will clean up or delete (roll off) old bakups when creating new ones. But these log files get left behind. Not really a problem but looks messy. Is there any danger to me just deleting these old log files? Or will Proxmox need these for some kind of historical purpose?

Thank you.
 
Hi,
you can delete them, without problems.
 
Thanks Wolfgang for the confirmation. I thought this was the answer but nice to make sure.

Appreciate your help.
