Directory log_dir full

Question

hello,
The directory "log_dir" is full at 97%.
We have in this directory redologs from January 2010.
We have a backup every day successfully
OS Linux Suse10
DB6 09.01.0007
My question is: How can I empty log_dir directory ??
I suppose I cannot use the "rm" command
Can you help me to solve this problem ?
thanks a lot in advance
Daniel
