How can I free space from a massive 39.5GB /var/log/ folder?

I just got a message from the default disk analyses software (Baobab)that I only have 1GB left on the hard drive. After some search, I found that the /var/log/ folder is the cause of this.

Some file/sizes in /var/log/:

  • kern.log = 12.6 GB
  • ufw.log = 12.5 GB
  • kern.log.1 = 6.1 GB
  • ufw.log.1 = 6.0 GB

Et cetera et cetera. /var/log is huge.

Can I delete those files or the entire /var/log folder? Or is that a BIG NO NO in Ubuntu?
