You've probably encountered this problem more than once, and just wanted for that damn warning never to appear again! Here's how!

1. Navigate to /data/ using Root Browser, or a similar browser
2. Delete the folder called "log"
3. Enjoy your larger storage space!

If you want more space, or this just didn't help you, you can go to see what applications take the most of your *data* space by going to the Settings menu. When you have found the applications which data take the most of your storage space, just go to /data/data/ and search for the application. Then, delete the "log" folder or just some files that are useless in your opinion. If this helped you, remember to click the "Thanks" button!

Useless.
Why would I do cleaning manually when there are dozens of apps on GPlay for this and half of them have 'scheduled" cleaning?

Well, because none of them actually clear the logs OR the data, they only clear the cache, which is mostly the smallest portion of an app.

Agreed. Perhaps I overreacted.
Mhmm...wonder why none other haven't though of adding that to those "cleaning" apps :p
Are the .log files always named the same per app? Perhaps a script can automate this.

For apps to clean the folder that i specified to clean logs, they would need root access. If you're smart enough to root your phone, you're probably smart enough to clean your logs yourself :D
Theres no specific name for the logs, they just exist in a folder named "log" that can be safely deleted. The name is usually the date that they were created, for example 5-25-2014 12:34

So ScriptManager(automating) and a script and you got yourself a maid :p am lazy to do it manually every time.
I'll check in the morning what those market apps really clean.

Actually, there is a script that can automate it.
su
cd /data/log/
rm ./
rmdir /data/log/
