Edit -> Preferences

There is a preference for the number of days to keep the backup (.xac)
and log (.log) files around.   There MAY be a bug where it doesn't
properly delete .log files.

> Is it safe to delete them?

Yes.  They are only backup and logfiles.  If you think your data file
is correct then it's perfectly safe to delete the extraneous files.
