I recently updated to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS from 18.04 LTS. It's been not even a week since the update and I get the error Low Disk Space on Filesystem root. I have allocated 20 GB of memory to root directory out of which 5 GB is taken just by "/var/log/syslog" file.
Is it safe to remove this file?
Also can someone please help me to find out what is the root cause of this and how to get rid of this? I find it abnormal as it wrote 5 GB of system log data in less than a week.
Here's an example of what's being repeated over and over in the syslog:
