Log File in oracle network log directory,

Question

Hello,
in the oracle\network\log directory there we can find the file [SIDNAME].log.
I think only in case for network troubles, oracle will log some informations in this log file.
For what is this file needed and can I delete this file?
Thanks for your help.
