"debug-log files exist" message present - is there a way to clear message w/o delete

[VDecalS]

Noting also that since you're running the zc157 series, there's a Display Logs plugin that can be installed as part of that base code. That way, you can view/manage the log files from your Zen Cart admin instead of going to cPanel.

Yep. The Display Logs prompted the OP, as they were showing "debug-log files exist" message on top of every admin screen.
