Is it okay to delete these log files on my ISA Server?

Which files are used for Reporting feature in the ISA Managment?
Can I safely delete any of these files in these directories?

\\isa\c$\WINNT\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1
\\isa\c$\WINNT\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1
\\isa\c$\Program Files\Microsoft ISA Server\ISALogs

What are the ones in here for? \\isa\c$\Program Files\Microsoft ISA Server\ISALogs

If I do go into the GUI and Change the date to store for shorter period of time, will it automatically delete the ones that fall beyond that date since they are already out there?
It should the next time it is due to perform a cycle. I think this is once every 24 hours.

The ISALOGS are summaries of all the events. remove them and your ISA will produce reports etc which are empty and you will have a nightmare repairing it.
Thanks again
No, Thank you :)
