@Rusty I wouldn’t do it with RapidWeaver open and I certainly wouldn’t delete it from Trash until you rebooted and made sure RW worked first… if it doesn’t then you can put back the trashed file. Its a crash log that is used/maintained by RapidWeaver when crashes occur (I believe) Brad ---

Hi Brad … I did remove it as it’s only a log, but @ 4.66gb a rather large log ! All seems fine so far, thanks for the advice. Fingers crossed 😉 ---

What is in the log should really be the question… My log was created at the start of 2015 and is only 206 bytes… ---

@bitbumpy Mine contains every instance of RapidWeaver opening, stack updates, publishing details (processes), plugin issues, stack issues, Theme issues, etc… looks like it might even contain some preview html… not 100% but that’s what it looks ike to me. Mine is 1.4GB (From March 2015) Brad ---

If you’ve enabled RapidWeaver’s Publishing logging, this is likely why the file has grown so large. You’re welcome to remove it when RapidWeaver is not open 🙂 ---

Thanks Nik … the Publishing logging has been on since the beta testing … !! Deleted now, all good. 🙂
