    Log files
    What are log files and is it safe to delete them?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question. :( I just have a lot of them and don't want to delete them if I shouldn't do so. I'm trying to clean up my computer so it will hopefully work better. I've made a lot of mistakes and deleted a lot of the wrong files and folders and some might have gone to the wrong place when I reformatted and restored. To all the experts that's helped me before thank you very much.

    Well, a log file is created in your PC very time you visit a web site & it stores the information such as bytes received & transferred, IP address, Time of visit etc.
