I have x32 LL installed, fresh install 3mos ago.I have been losing hard drive space.
I finally found where it went, SYSLOG is 42GB in size.  ./var/log/syslog
This is on a 70gb drive.
How do I delete or clean this?  It will not let me by normal means.
Is it safe to just delete it? HOW? 
Can it be cleaned/recovered?
How can I stop this from happening?
I tried Bleachbit, but I do not see an option for syslog.
Help Please
TIA
