Is it safe to delete Logs\Catalog?

Hello,

Is it safe to delete C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Logs\Catalog\*?

Apparently debug logs was enabled, once I changed in the registry, no new files is being create at this path.

Regards;

First of all; debug logs should not be created within this folder. They should be created in a folder called Logs.
Secondly, the Catalog folder holds by default the Catalog files. When you run a backup job, what is being backed up is written into these files located in the Catalog folder. 
If you run an inventory / catalog job, these same files are created in the Catalog folder.

Saying all the above -> best thing is to check where your current catalog files are being written too:
You can do this via the BE general settings

If the path specified matches your path then its a definitive no.
If the path is different, then i would check how old are the files located in there.

Hello, this is my path.

With the exception of file called CatError_BACKUPSERVER1.log, which is from today, other files are from Jan/14 and older until apox 1 year ago, Jan/14 was when I changed the registry entries about debug logs.
