Need to free up space on server - Can I delete these old exchange files (*.edb)?
I need to get the disk size down to <120Gb to fit on our backup tapedrive.
I've identified old exchange files (*.edb) that could free up about ~20Gb.
They are the ones with "backup" in the filename in the attached image.
Q1) Is it safe to delete them?
Q2) why are the "new" files showing a last modified date of ~10 days ago, rather than today?
*We're running SBS2003 (so its the version of Exchange that comes with that - 6.5 I think)

The question was relating to old edb files not log files
As for additional disk space, I strongly suggest you read over my web page on disk space. http://www.lwcomputing.com/tips/static/bootdrivesize.asp
