I am using Ubuntu 18.04. Recently whenever I start my PC, I get a error message saying 0 bytes left in your /root directory. I used the du command and found out that /var/log/syslog and /var/log/syslog.1 are tremendously big in size with syslog about 832M and syslog.1 about 44G. I deleted the syslog.1, but my syslog file is increasing at a rate of about 1G per minute.
syslog details:

I noticed that this docker and socket connection error is getting repeatedly populated.
