I have a plan 4r with tera-byte.com
This plan is ran by coblat.
All the logs on my site(s) http://www.gamerz-lounge.com and http://www.gamerz-filez.com take up my very precious web space. I delete them periodically. I couldn't delete the coblat ones...is it possible?

As far as I know...you can't. Permission for the cobalt log files is set to root.

So if the coblat logs (which I don't even look at) take up all my web space, there is NOTHING I can do about it?

Sure, you can contact you host and ask them to delete the files.

You just can't do it yourself because you do not have root access.

When I asked them to delete the logs all together they couldn't...They still can delete them though, right?

Yes they could but they probably don't want to

ask them to make your logs directory group writeable so you can delete them yourself.
