My SQL database keeps growing so I looked at Logs.  I am running DNN 7.02.01lication version you are

When I go to Host Settings/Logs it shows logs back to August 2012.

I wanted to delete the logs so:

1.       In Host settings/Other Settings I set Log History to 7 days.

2.       Then I went to Host/Schedule and edit Purge Site Log.  It was Not enabled so I enabled it and set it to run once a day.  Then hit update. 

3.       I hit edit Purge Site Log again and selected Run Now. 

4.       Then I restarted the application just to be sure.

However, when I went back to Host settings/Logs the logs still go back to 2012.

How do I delete old logs and how do I stop the SQL file from growing and growing????

the logs under host->host settings->logs are text files - they simply show the logs of any database activity (any *.log.resources files in Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider) and any upgrade log activity (any *.resources files in Portals\_default\Logs ) - as such they do not take up any database space. To see what is taking up the space in the database take a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25...
