boot-repair.log became huge in size

[Minkyu Choi]

I am using laptop with windows 8.1 and ubuntu 14.04 ( dual boot ). Windows is first OS and I installed ubuntu later and I used Boot-Repair program when I installed ubuntu. The problem is, I assigned at first 50 G for the ubuntu partition and now, almost all disk space is full of log files.

The files are under '/var/log/boot-sav/log' .
And there are some folders whose names are
'2014-12-24__04h56boot-repair10', 2014-12-24__05h18boot-repair37' and so on.
There are 10 folders in the path above. In one of folders here, there are another folders 'sda', 'sda1', 'sda2', ... 'sda10' and one file 'boot-repair.log'.
This is the problem. 'boot-repair.log' this log file size is over 6G. And I have this big file in every other folder in '/var/log/boot-sav/log' .

What should I do? Can I just remove the boot-repair program with 'sudo apt-get remove boot-repair' and delete all the files in the path? Actually, I did not even run the program after I finished installing ubuntu in my laptop. Also I'm not sure this program fixed my problem because whenever I run this program, it always stuck just showing 'sacnning system takes some time' and it doesn't proceed. I don't even noticed that this program is still in my computer.

I found same problem in this bug report. However, I am now not using this program thus I want to know whether I can just delete the program and those huge log files to get disk spaces without interrupting the system booting.

The program itself is grate and many people use this program with great appreciation. But I guess my laptop does not like this program...

hi Minkyu
You can delete the log files without any issue. (sudo rm -rf /var/log/boot-sav )
This will not impact your boot.

This "huge logs" bug was present in some previous versions of Boot-Repair (4ppa26 , 27, 28, 30 and 31), and should be fixed with recent versions.
Please make sure to update the "boot-sav" and "boot-repair" packages before using the tool.
