You'd have to give a bit more detail such as which operating system you're using to run SE, do you just want to remove them or would you rather rotate them (usually a good idea)?

hi, sorry for the vague question. we are using Centos 7. we like to delete the old Security Log where we hv no use of them. For eg. 3 month ago.
could we go inside the folder and safely delete them? if yes, could you tell us where is the path to the folder?
thank you,

If you want to keep logfiles for a specific period then you need to configure logrotate (it should already be installed) to keep them, take a look at this article for a simple explanation: https://www.tecmint.com/install-logrota ... -in-linux/
