Hi is it safe to delete .gz files in /var/log?

They will get deleted automatically by logrotate.
Running find /var/log -name "*.gz" | xargs sudo rm isn't going to do any damage.
If you don't want logs, don't create them in the first place by updating your rsyslog config files or delete them sooner by updating your logrotate config files.
