Which SSO Log files are SAFE to remove?

I have Vsphere 6.0 and I recently received the alert Vmware Common Logging Server Health Alarm.  I followed the instructions in KB (VMware Knowledge Base ).  Unfortunately, I still have the warning. Can you tell me which files in the /storage/log/vmware/sso are safe to manually delete?

Basically, any files that end in a .## are safe to remove. These are not the active log files and have been rotated out. However, that said, keep in mind that these files do provide a past history of those services, so if you ever had any question as to operational status deleting them would mean their loss. Understand what you're doing here.

find out which folder is using more space by running the command , there could be some old dumps which occupies the space

run this command

cd /storage/log

run du -h

above command will list out all the files and folders with disk usage values. Post the output here.

Thank you so much for responding. My goal is to eliminate unnecessary files in the /storage/log/vmware/sso directory, but I am not sure which files are safe to remove. pastedImage_0.png
