The application error log file
"ARKSPErrorLog.txt" is gradually increasing in size. Can I delete it?
|
|
Yes, you may manually delete this error log
file when ARKSP is not running. ARKSP
generates an error log file in the application path "C:\Program
Files\ARKSP\Log". The error log file tends to increase in size over a period of
time especially if the application meets with frequent error conditions. The
application does an "append" to the error log each time it runs. This is
required for diagnostic purposes during trouble shooting. You may delete the
error log file periodically.
