Audit Log


Friends,
How can i clear the /var/log/audit.d/save.??

[root@server audit.d]# ls -ltr
total 1045700
-rw------- 1 root root 20971456 Mar 29 20:16 save.21
-rw------- 1 root root 20971426 Mar 30 09:51 save.22
-rw------- 1 root root 20971337 Mar 31 01:10 save.23
-rw------- 1 root root 20971367 Mar 31 14:43 save.2
-rw------- 1 root root 20971315 Apr 1 04:27 save.24
-rw------- 1 root root 20971411 Apr 1 19:03 save.25
-rw------- 1 root root 20971514 Apr 2 08:25 save.26

I don’t want to stop the audit demon.
Can I use rm ? or any other utility available for deletions...
