Re: Deleting historical vmware-*.log files

If you use PowerCLI you could do something like this:

Get-DataStore ESX02_LOCAL2 | New-DataStoreDrive -Name DS
cd DS:
Get-ChildItem -Recurse | where {$_.Name -like "vmware-*.log"}
Remove-PSDrive -Name DS

If you're happy with the files that are found you would just change the one line to this to delete the files:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | where {$_.Name -like "vmware-*.log"} | foreach ($_) {remove-item $_.fullname}

If you're connected to a console or SSH session and just need a one time run you could run this to list the files

find /vmfs/volumes/ -name vmware-*.log  -exec ls  {} \;

and this to delete the files

find /vmfs/volumes/ -name vmware-*.log  -exec ls  {} \; | xargs rm
