in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data \pg log there is 3.4 gigs worth of data each log is like 10mb. space is somewhat of an issue for me,. 2 questions. 1. is this folder going to get bigger? and 2. is it safe to delete the older log files?

Not only is it safe to delete them you can also make it so NO new log files are written

See this:
FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Large Log Files (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/85/Large+Log+Files)

I have done this on my laptops & the reduction in weight when I'm carrying my laptops about is noticeable
Try it by putting your pc on a kitchen scales & watch the arrow on the scales when you delete those pesky logs
I've told everyone about this - bit nobody is a believer :D
