Unable to delete Kaspersky .log files/folders

[jameswesthead]

Windows 11 Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.963)

Kaspersky Internet Security 21.3.10.391(j)

I've been cleaning up my PC and found some log files/folders, all of which seem to relate to Kaspersky and the Edge browser. I'm unable to delete them, and despite trying to take ownership and grant myself access rights, I cannot get anywhere. Trying to take ownership fails. 

The items are in:

 C:\Program Data\Kaspersky Lab\SafeBrowser\Common\S-1-5-21-1379599756-1977096553-751066661-1001\EdgeChromium\Default\many different sub-folders.

(See attached screen shot)

I would just like to be able to delete the things.

Can anyone help?

Hello @jameswesthead, Welcome.

This files are not redundant log files. It is data created by the safe browser.
You can delete them only if you temporarily disable self-protection in your KIS.
But the next time you start the safe browser, they will be created again. So deleting them only makes sense if you don't use safe browser.

Thank you. I will leave them alone.
