Is it safe to delete Android Studio logs?
Log files Android Studio writes while it runs, in one folder for each version.

What it is
Android Studio records what it does in idea.log and related files here, which helps when you report a problem. It starts new logs as it runs, so nothing you made is lost. Folders for versions you no longer use stay behind.

Past logs are gone, so they can't be attached to a bug report.
How it's removed
Moved to the Trash, where you can restore it. Quit Android Studio first.
