    large and this causes space issue in your SAP application server.
    SAP has recommend archiving your audit files on a regular basis and deleting the
    original files as necessary.

    server where you are working.

    Use the following procedure to delete old audit files.

    1. Execute Transaction SM18

    Enter the Minimum age of files to delete (default = 30 days) . This value must be greater
    than 3, So if you have given 3 then System will delete files older than 3 days.

    Activate the On All Active Instances selection to delete the audit files from all application
    servers in your System. Leave the selection unchecked if you only want to delete the files
    from the local application server.
