So what are those files and can I delete all but the most recent?
And if you look up replication, as others already have said, you will find that

Are you using replication? If so, you need to go to each of your
slaves and run the command 'SHOW MASTER STATUS;'. That will tell you
which files are
If you search on mysql-bin.01 you get a lot of good info.
o They are mysql log files it contains all the queries u can view
these files with the command mysqlbinlog just man it for more details
o These are your binary log files.. you might not want to switch them
off depending on your setup -
The binary log is useful for more then just replication and can be used to
take incremental backups or to perform forensics on what your server has
done. I would recommend learning how to use them to your advantage over
turning binary logging off as some have recommended. Make sure you're
