Exchange 2016 Server Logs

Hi,

We recently upgraded from 2010 to 2016 Exchange - The drive that our Exchange Databases + log files are on is filling up rapidly with log files. I just want to double check that I can delete these?

DB01/02 are the databases - DB01/02_log are the log folders

Please note - these are separate logs to the ones found under Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\v15\Logging - which are also accumulating rapidly

Thanks in advance,
Jack

Don't delete the logs manually as that can cause bad things to happen

When you did the migration from 2010 to 2016 did you enable circular logging during migration?

My guess would be that you did not have circular logging enabled during migration

A: If you have not already done so, you should do a FULL backup and upon completion it will remove the excess logs
B: The other option would be to turn on circular logging which will remove the excess logs Click here to learn more

Search, Recover, Migrate & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox EDB's and Live Exchange Servers , even cross version i.e. 2003 --> 2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 --> 2016 --> 2019 --> Exchange Online with Lucid8's DigiScope
