upnp-av.log is the ReadyDLNA log.
Rather than deleting I would do e.g# echo > upnp-av.log
You could empty the cron log too.
You may wish to make a backup of the log on the data volume first in case you wish to look at it e.g. if you are having problems with ReadyDLNA.
I would not empty the syslog or messages unless the size of those gets out of hand. Those are important logs.
