is there an easy way to empty 'logs' folder

Hi - had a problem of lack of space on a website - issue was lack of available 'inodes'- had 213k entries in error logs (all myDEBUG files) - I want to purge the folder - using WinSCP ftp client is low, can only delete 10k entries at a time and that takes ages - is there another faster way?

cheers, Mike

In recent versions of Zen Cart the Admin->Tools->Store Manager has a cleanup option. I can't remember if it goes all the way back to v151 though.

You could also use your hosting company's control panel if they offer a File Manager option.

Many thanks Doc - worked a treat - had 213,000 of the same error message - after clearout it is still coming through every 30 seconds or so - bloody nuisance.

Well at least it's telling you which PHP file is causing the trouble. maybe you should turn that middlebox off?
