DNS.log safe to delete?

IRJ

I am trying to clean up an old server that is low on disk space. When running TreeSize on the server I found this file. The last modified is 5/23/11. Is it safe to delete?

Probably better to zero it out rather than deleting. Just good practice if nothing else.

What do you mean zero it out?

Open it up and delete everything inside.

Open it up and delete everything inside.

Or just write a null into it.

I sorta recall how to do that in Linux, how do you do that in Windows?

TYPE NUL > dns.log

In Linux it is...

cat /dev/null > filename
