Is it all right to delete the log.txt file in DJO in the phone?

[marjoryb98]

In the copy of the DJO files that that I save each day for a week, I just noticed that there is a large file named log.txt in the main Files folder. Looking back, the current one seems to have been started on Oct. 20, and shows various events happening from then through Oct. 24. There are 2 older smaller ones with events on Oct. 6-7.
What triggers it, and is it all right to delete it now in Android? If it stayed small, that would be okay, but the last version is 13,633 KB which affects the size of my daily backup of the DJO files plus my other most essential files to a flash drive.

Marjory,

You can delete the log.txt. This would be turned on in the DejaOffice Settings > Logging And Support Setting > Start Logging. If this is off this file will not be generated.

Thanks for the quick reply! As of now, it's not checked. I don't know what triggered it to either start or stop, but I'll take a look if I see that file growing again.

Aha, when DJO updated in my phone, logging became turned on again - and the file appeared and became pretty large again. Is that your intention, to have it on by default?
Now at 4.4.52, build 1452

Marjory,

I would be enabled for 24 hours after an update, that way if there's any issues we have something to refer to. Has the file size of the log.txt stayed around 13 mb (13,633 kb). Even with it active it really shouldn't be very large. 13 megabytes is still a relatively small file.

Right, that's the approximate file size. I'm not sure how soon I noticed it after the update, but I think it was more than 24 hours. But I don't know when I got the update, and I've deleted the logging file.
