How to Free Up Disk Space With Log Cleaner

If your Minecraft installation has grown large because of accumulated log files, Log Cleaner is designed to reclaim that space automatically. Here is how to get the most out of it.

Understanding What Gets Cleaned

Minecraft writes logs about your worlds, how often you access them, and other session details. Over time these pile up. Log Cleaner scans the configured locations and removes files that have not been accessed recently. Because it looks at access time instead of creation time, logs still in use are preserved, so cleanup is safe to run regularly.

Tuning for Maximum Reclamation

To free space faster, lower the age threshold in the config so files become eligible sooner. Make sure every folder where logs accumulate is included in the scan list, since anything outside it will not be touched. After adjusting, restart the game and let the mod run its cleanup cycle. You can confirm results by checking the size of your log folders before and after. If you are unsure whether a file is safe to lose, open it once to refresh its access time and it will be skipped. Combine a modest threshold with a complete folder list to keep storage usage low without deleting anything you are actively relying on.
