SYSWOW64 - Full of edb***.log files

Question

Hello,
I found that there are a lot of file edb***.log in my folder syswow64, I'm wondering if I should delete this file.
Could you give me advice or some way to prevent them to creating new.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Removing these logs is only safe as long as the CA database file is consistent. In order to remove these logs and reclaim disk space, follow these steps:

1. Open the Services MMC and stop the Active Directory Certificate Services service.
2. Make a backup copy of ALL the file contents present in the c:windowssystem32certlog folder.
3. Delete EDB.CHK and all the files that have an extension of .LOG (*.LOG)
4. Restart the Active Directory Certificate Services service.
