/var/ directory running out of space

I’m getting a broadcast message on the bash CLI that warns me about the /var/ directory running out of room.

011d0004:3: Disk partition /var has only 14% free

There are four Tomcat files of identical size taking up almost a GB of space, but I don’t know what purpose they serve.

Does anyone know what the purpose of these files are, and whether or not it’s safe to remove them?

I guess you can try to show them with ‘less’ to figure out what type of info is contained…

Where are those files located? Just under /var ?

By the way, you can also resize the /var partition → myF5
