+.. opcmd:: delete log file <text>
+
+Deletes the specified user-defined file <text> in the /var/log/user directory
+
+Note that deleting the log file does not stop the system from logging events.
+If you use this command while the system is logging events, old log events
+will be deleted, but events after the delete operation will be recorded in
+the new file. To delete the file altogether, first delete logging to the
+file using system syslog :ref:`custom-file` command, and then delete the file.
