I run Guix on top of a foreign distribution (Fedora).  The directory
/var/log/guix contains  log files and keeps growing in size.  I wonder
if I can remove existing log files in /var/log/guix without any
harmful effect (with no guix pull or build in progress)?

Thanks for info

AFAIK yes.  I've done so a few times.

Yes, it's perfectly safe. You could setup a rotation job so you don't have to care about cleaning them manually. See your distro's documentation to learn how to do that ;)
