why would you want to delete it?

 

the files in that location are just log entries that appear when you open the Log section on nod32

Boot the PC into safe mode and you should be able to delete it.

Before you try the above, go into advanced setup -> Tools -> Log Files and click on Optimize. See if that makes any difference.
