Safe way to delete log file?

Please help a newbie. Safe way to delete log file?

From Webmin>Webalizer, I can see my access_log file is 800 Mb. I tried Generating Report, but it took a looong time. It's still "Running Webalizer to generate report from /etc/httpd/logs/access_log .."


My questions :

1. What should I do now? Keep waiting? Can I cancel the process?

2. What is the safe way to delete the log file? Can I just SSH and go to the directory /etc/httpd/logs/ & delete the file?

Thanks!
