Before you come up with advice like that, it might be a good idea to find out what exactly the OP means by '4 papyrus in my documents'. Four files with an average size of 5.5Gb? To the OP: You might want to go to the [Papyrus] section of Skyrim.ini and set bEnableTrace and bEnableLogging to 0 - they will be set to 1 if these are indeed Papyrus log files. Oh, and for future reference, never delete 220Gb worth of files on the on the strength of a one sentence Internet answer.

Four files with an average size of 5.5Gb? Because pap literally cycles down logfiles, and only ever keeps 4? As to why there they're large is not really relevant to his question. These are log files. Deleting them will do nothing to the game itself. He can always turn off logging in his Custom.ini, and even if he does not, the logs will be created again anyway? Deleting these logs has no impact on anything but disk space, when you get to the bare bones of it. He asked if they were safe to delete. They are. If he has technical support issues, having fresh logs, which aren't that large is more of a net benefit either way. Edit: wanted to throw down that exceptionally large log files can actually be nigh impossible to open in the first place. Clean log files are the net benefit either way.
Grey Cloud Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 It was your assumption that they were Papyrus logs and your irresponsible assertion that it was alright to delete them that I was concerned about.
Matz Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 Thank's to all ! I put the line to 0 don't worry because if I didn't it would start again. I was mostly sure that deleting papyrus logs would not be a problem that's why I did it when he told me that's fine, just wanted to be sure.

It would have a. saved the forum a pointless thread and b. led you to a reliable source of information.
DarksideTinkerbell Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Aren't they called pap logs? Thats what I call them, it rings true when I say it... Also isn't there a way in the ini to shorten the logs size so it only saves say the last few minutes when you log off or CTD?
