I am sure anyone who has used MT4 often especially to do long backtests knows how big the log files can get ! I have coded a batch file which deletes the biggest files from MT4 (you need to close the program first) thought I would share it...
Just place it in your metatrader folder and press 'y' when it prompts if you want to delete. This can clear gigabytes from your drive !!

Thanks Leeb, but into which MT folder do we place it? Logs? (there are 2) or indicators?
Thank you for replying.

Hi everyone, glad you like this little tool.
ValeoFX: Thanks for your great posts on this forum, yes as enforcer says it should be in your main metatrader folder eg: c:\program files\metatrader 4
Just by running the batch yesterday I freed up about 20GB from one folder
good idea your Tool to delete temporary metatrader logs.
But as a system administrator i must say it's with the command "del *.*" too dangerous for normal users in case of accidental erasure!
Think the version i posted below is saver.
It deletes only all log-files in ...\experts\logs-folder, only all log-files with the actual date in ...\logs-folder, only all fxt-files in ...\tester\history-folder and only all log-files in ...\tester\logs-folder.

Thanks ValeoFX, happy Easter to you and all other contributors to this great forum :-)
Beppi - thanks for your addition, yes I work in IT too so agree that the system could be improved, it is for more advanced or careful users but your method is great.
