Removing mysql-binlogs?

Question

MySQL

Is it possible to delete binlogs without worrying about database replication? What to do with mysql-bin.index in this case?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Answer 1

it is better to let the muscle itself clean up the old logs, for example, the option:

[mysqld]
. . .
expire_logs_days = 5
. . . 

will force muscle to clean up logs older than 5 days.
