  Hey there! You won't want to delete the log file, as Apache requires that be in place for the service to run properly. You may want to adjust the log rotation settings as outlined here:

  I didn"t understand the apache log rotation. Could you please provide any detail on it. As my log files are 146G /var/log 108G /var/log/apache2 23G /var/log/clos_ssa

  I'm not familiar with the clos_ssa directory, and I'm not finding much about that area from a web search either. That might be something to ask your host about, as that could be a tool they configure on the server before cPanel is installed. Inside the /var/log/apache2 directory, you'll want to find what specifically is using the space. It could be the main error_log, or domlogs, or access logs, but you'l need to know which is using the space so you can adjust them as outlined here: Log Rotation | cPanel & WHM Documentation
