You can add a *expire_logs_days* Variable in my.cnf during the configuration of replication server.
#* expire_logs_days = 7* It will purged binary logs older than 7 days.The old logs will be purged during the next bin-log switch. Or, You can also delete bin-log manually using command : PURGE BINARY LOGS TO 'mysql-bin.010'; PURGE BINARY LOGS BEFORE '2008-04-02 22:46:26'; but before you purge please make sure that slave is on sync with master or confirm the current status from slaves.
