Max, Those log files are usually very small and they get deleted at the same time as the automatic backup files. I have GnuCash configured to keep them for several days and I find them very handy when GnuCash crashes to re-enter whatever I had entered after my last manual file save, which is not very much since I save every few minutes. I use compressed XML format. If you use one of the database formats, it may work differently, but I have no experience with that to share.
If you are saving your GnuCash data file(s) in dedicated folder(s) in your userland as recommended, they aren't cluttering up your hard drive to speak of.
