Jeff- Actually, thsee sound like the binary log files used primarily for replication. If you're on host doctorpants, they'll be doctorpants-bin.001 doctorpants-bin.002 doctorpants-bin.index and so forth. If you don't want a write query log and aren't doing transactions, remove the binlog option from my.cnf and do a mysql> RESET MASTER; to remove the files. They contain none of your data, just what it took to get there. You can use mysqlbinlog to translate them to SQL files.
