I deleted the content of this log file.
I did not delete it.
BLC has retained its memory and still seems to be working

Below is the last ten lines from the big file.
the same link get repeated many times in this log
There may be some a debug mode active. A guess.
Our file system was 91% full as we had 8 copies of the site backup each containing a copy of this enormous file
The log included dates from when we installed BLC to current
