ON MY MAC RUNNING 10.4.8

I was cleaning my computer when I noticed a PM.log file in my Caches folder.
This baby is 222mB.
Do I need it?
What happens if I delete it?

You don't need it.  You can safely delete it.  Though if you're in no hurry, I'd like to see it and see why it was so large.  Contact me privately if you're willing to let me look at it.  The file contains nothing personal whatsoever.

Thanks,

-Kirk

Good spot Marc, I've just had a look at my log file and it's 416MB. :o

Cheers,
Tony

The caches folder is not indexed by Spotlight.
