I don’t know how old that logfile is, but if you have set loglevel below “2”, the logfile bloat fast.

Hope that helps,
much luck!

hi
After reading the documentation as said by @ernolf , you can also simply delete the nextcloud log file

depending on where you set it to be stored inside config.php …

Probably a good time to glance at recent log entries to make sure something isn’t broken you were unaware of (so far). :slight_smile:

You could set a size limit in you config.php and do all sorts what you request
