delete audit and trace files

DBA2011Mar 12 2008 — edited Mar 12 2008

Is anyone aware of why we should not delete audit and trace files under the oracle admin directory that are over 30 days old? I don't know that there is anything in place to do this and they are building up. Tuldcorpadb01:/oracle is at 96%. These files aren't that big, but there are a lot of them. See counts below.
oracle:tuldcorpadb01:ecmd> cd admin
oracle:tuldcorpadb01:ecmd>find . -name \*.aud -type f -ctime +30 -ls|wc -l
25149
oracle:tuldcorpadb01:ecmd>find . -name \*.trc -type f -ctime +30 -ls|wc -
2426
