Yes you can. Be sure not to delete the one the database is currently writing to.

Are you replicating your database?
[Jacob, Raymond A Jr] No.
 Are you using them for point in time restores?
[Jacob, Raymond A Jr] No.
If you're replicating, make sure your replicas have all caught up on the files
you're deleting.

[Jacob, Raymond A Jr] To remove the excess binary update logs, and start again
, should I run the SQL command:
RESET MASTER?
Or if I don't need to reconstruct or restore a table may I just delete them are
comment log-bin out
of my.cnf and restart mysql?

thank you,
Raymond
