[Maci]

Hi,
I wana know if i can delete the mysql-bin.001 type files in the 'data' folder. i have a lot of these files and they are taking up too much space but I am not sure what they are. so, I would like to delete them. Can somebody shed some light on this? -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Those are files created by the binary log. You can use this for point-in-time recovery, or for setting up the master server for replication.
You can remove them with the statement "RESET MASTER". -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
