You have not given here much info about your server type, SQL ver & OS.

anyways, just go to log server manager ..it has all the option to clear your log.

If you have WHM use this plugin

Login to your server as a root user
wget http://www.logview.org/logview-install
chmod +x logview-install
./logview-install
Wait for install complete message
rm -f logview-install 

Else use logrotate as thanhlangso said
