hostname-bin.xxx file what is this

[Knight Raider]

I installed MySQL that comes with RedHat 8, after run it I noticed that lot 
of file created in my data directory, file name is something like 
'myhostname-bin.xxx' where xxx is the number, and it take lot of disk space.

What the file is use for and how to avoid it?

Thanks in advance.
