Log files on C:Drive - 3cx on E:

[Prawnapple]

Hi All,

I have a query regarding 3cx logs. My 3cx is installed on the E: drive but I have backup of log data stored on the C: drive in Local Disk C -> PraogramData -> 3cx -> Data -> Logs -> Backup

Why would it be saving here and not on the E: drive where 3cx is installed? Is there a way to change this? Also, can I delete the logs from C without causing any issue?

no, you can not change it as we req. the APPDATA folder and this is commonly located in C: in windows installs.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks a lot. Can I delete the backups without affecting the system stability in any way? Will I still be able to access older activity logs from 3cx if the backups are deleted?

 

[StefanW]

yes you can delete them, thats safe as the system does not read them anymore and are just for support cases which may stretch over a period of time.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks alot for the response again. One last question. If I delete them. Can I go back 1 week from now and still find these logs somewhere or are they gone forever if I delete them?

 

[StefanW]

gone once deleted
