I could have sworn I had 12 GIGs last night when I went to bed, but now I'm sitting at under 3. After some searching I found that my Console logs were taking up almost 8 gigs of space. Should I delete them? Is there some way to purge them?

Running 10.4.5 on a 12in 1.33 PBook.

(Also, what the heck is up with iPhoto taking up like 20 gigs my my space! I never noticed it before but goodness. My 11 gigs of photos is really 20 gigs of iPhoto bloat. Eh, oh well)

Console logs can always be deleted... but studying them to
find the *cause* of the problem might be a good idea first?

Yeah, that would be nice as well. How does on analyze these logs? What would I open them with?
