program files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data\base

I don't recognize the type of file in this folder. Are these my databases rendered in some form I'm not familiar with?

Can I delete any or all of these files, are they just archives of HHs? Or will I loose my databases if I delete this folder's contents?

Thanks for your help.

Yep, this are the database files. They are managed by the postgresql server.
If you touch any of these files you will loose all your data.

Ok...What about the log files? Can I safely delete these to free up space on my drive?

Yep, but only the files in the pg_log folder not in the other folders.
