Delete Logs
===========
.. opcmd:: delete log file <text>
Deletes the specified user-defined file <text> in the /var/log/user directory
Note that deleting the log file does not stop the system from logging events.
If you use this command while the system is logging events, old log events
will be deleted, but events after the delete operation will be recorded in
the new file. To delete the file altogether, first delete logging to the
file using system syslog :ref:`custom-file` command, and then delete the file.
