As the system runs longer and longer, the size of log files increases. If these historical logs are stored in the system for a long time, a large amount of disk space will be occupied. You can directly delete these log files, but deleting them may cause unexpected consequences. To release disk space without affecting system operation, you can use the echo command to clear the log file content. the command format is as follows: echo>Log files

For example, to clear the content of the/var/log/message log file, run the following command:

Echo>/Var/log/message
