In /var/www/web/logs I have an access log that is 7.5GB. Can I purge that?
Your logs should be cycling. Is this a log for a single day?
It was not for a single day. It was from day 1 of the server life (25-Sept-2015)

Strange, is it doing it now. It should be on your cronjobs daily or weekly.

@wls-itguy little over halfway down the page it mentions how lograte shouldbe happening.
Managing Log Rotation Using Logrotate
By default, Ubuntu sets up its own log rotation plan with logrotate.
This program can take parameters and rotate logs when certain criteria are met. We can see what events cause logrotate to swap the Apache logs by looking in
/etc/logrotate.d/apache2:sudo nano /etc/logrotate.d/apache2Here, you can see some of the parameters given to logrotate. First of all, notice the first line is:
/var/log/apache2/*.log {
This means that logrotate will only operate on those logs in "/var/log/apache2". Keep this in mind if you have chosen a different directory for your logs in your Apache configuration.
