Yes you can do this. But, if you think at all that it might be a useful log of the machine's update history you might consider compressing them instead.
Download
clean_pkg_logs
This script retains the most recent 2 log files for each package and removes the older logs freeing up disk space. This helps keep those 2 directories more manageable. The script has 2 modes (test mode & remove mode) that create 3 /tmp logs (unique, keep & remove) of the activity.
First run it with
and then with
to really remove the files
In my system /var/log/removed_packages/ was about 1.5GB. Now it is 82MB.
/var/log/removed_scripts/ was 139MB. Now it is 35MB.
