This script will remove some gps logging files that were not intended to be enabled. The next update will permanently resolve this.
Make the script executable and then run it with sudo
chmod +x cleanlogs
sudo ./cleanlogs

@ PAT

I have just come across this problem with my Pro 5.

I have used the script however it shows that it skips over every log file.

Any help?

For me, it skips also but some only! At the end, I restarted and the memory was recovered.
You don't forgot "sudo"?

The script says skipped if it doesn't find the file, so safe to ignore it.
