Deleting access_log before it's been rotated?

I was wondering, is there any harm to manually deleting access_log before it's been rotated off? This is in Apache 7.3. My logs are getting big, and I may need to kill it even before it's been rotated.

I remember on an older server, when I did this, the logs spiraled out of control, and kept increasing in size.

Thank you.
