[squid-users] Apparently, no rotation on .logs

Howdy, everyone. Back in October 2003, we set up a Squid 2.4(?) proxy,
and thought it was quite nice. It turns out, however, that we never set
up a rule for logging and log rotation. Our "store.log" file is
gargantuan, and darn near filling up the HD space we have left.

I want to gamble, and say that we don't need the information in either
access.log or store.log. If I were to close out squid this afternoon,
and I were to delete those files, would I cause any significant problems
to the system?

I don't think I have enough time (or swap space) to do the "kill -USR1"
solution, and nothing happened when I entered "squid -k rotate", so I'd
just like to kill the files altogether and start over. Will this hurt?

Thanks
