cbs.log ... safe to delete?

Dave Horne

My Vista Home Premium is working just fine. Do I need to keep my 50+ meg
cbs.log file? Is it safe to delete?

Will Vista generate a new one? Educate me, please.

Thanks, DH

If you are sure your system is okay, you can delete this file. SFC.EXE will
create a new one, next time it is run.

You may have a cbs.persist.log as well. The existing cbs.log gets copied to
cbs.persist.log, each time a new cs.log is created. You can also delete this
cbs.persist.log, if it exists.
