+# Cleanup
+
+Vieter stores the logs of every single package build. While this is great for
+debugging why builds fail, it also causes an active or long-running Vieter
+instance to accumulate thousands of logs.
+
+To combat this, a log removal daemon can be enabled that periodically removes
+old build logs. By starting your server with the `max_log_age` variable (see
+[Configuration](/configuration#vieter-server)), a daemon will get enabled that
+periodically removes logs older than this setting. By default, this will happen
+every day at midnight, but this behavior can be changed using the
+`log_removal_schedule` variable.
+
+{{< hint info >}}
+**Note**  
+The daemon will always run a removal of logs on startup. Therefore, it's
+possible the daemon will be *very* active when first enabling this setting.
+After the initial surge of logs to remove, it'll calm down again.
