My /var/log/messages and messages.0 are getting very large. messages alone is almost 500 meg.  Is is safe to delete these files (I don't need to read any back error messages).  My syslog is also reaching 500 meg ais that safe to be deleted. Will they be auto-created again?

you may want to install logrotate, that will rotate those log files for you.
