The logical logs in the engine are not cumulative but are reused round-robin. Are you referring to archives of the logical logs taken using ontape -a or ontape -c? If so you can safely delete them once you take your next FULLlevel 0 archive of the server (though most DBAs will keep the last two archives and all of the logical log backups needed to go from the older archive to a current system in case the later tape is bad or damaged). So, just DEL them. Art S. Kagel
