    Default Spybot Housekeeping Purging logfiles on system disc

    Hi, I have been running Spybot S&D for a couple of years now with only a few minor problems.

    I can select items to quarantine and eventually purge the old stuff from Quarantine.

    However I realised today that Spybot creates logs on my system drive here C://ProgramData/Spybot-Search and Destroy/logs and I have a lot of them like this 141016-191317.xml.cleaning and Checks.140701-0055. These are text files relating to my scans and good housekeeping requires me to purge any old files like these but I am unsure the best way to do this and whether I should be careful about purging these files.

    Can anybody advise me about how to sort this as I hundreds of both types.

    Thanks in advance
