A note of caution, though /var/log will have log files, it will also have subdirectories.

Is there anything other than log files in / var / logs?
There should never be anything other than log files in the /var/logs directory, but if you want to be sure, just check how you can identify your log files as opposed to other files. Log files usually end in log, but double-check this. Was this post helpful? Thanks for your feedback!
