Although the image is missing...when it comes to servers and files to delete make sure to keep a backup somewhere....especially if the files are located in Program Files (both 32+64),ProgramDATA.Appdata

Okay what then ?

btw. Thanks John for help.
Also you can restrict Trace log disk space usage...eg. 2 GB...
If you have another disk you can also redirect Logs to it.

Okay, but could I delete the current one?
better Let sharepoint take care of it...
Change the values e.g to 5 days...restrict to 2-3 gb and i guess on the next run the daemon run it will act accordingly....UNLESS there are orphaned files....like logs from a previous version....you can identify them by having huge time differences...for example 1 month back...

i guess it is time to check the contents of the folders...
What settings you have now on the Trace Log?
hmm...LOGs folder gather also usage files...
Follow this article here
Make sure your backups are 100% successful. When you do full backups and they are successful, exchange and sharepoint transaction logs should get truncated automatically. Besides that you can change the settings so the logs are written elsewhere, for example to another disk (not C:).

Also run the Cleanup wizard. With it you can safely cleanup the disk from unneeded OS files.

Thanks guys

Disabling Jobstimer events and trace logs to 3gb it helped to resolve this issue.
