When you run amflush it will ask which directories/dates you wish to
flush.  After you have done the one(s) you want, I think it is safe
to blow away the ones you don't want.  The logs will rotate and be
deleted on their own.  Or archive them; or if space on holding disk
is not a problem, leave them for later.

After doing the above I'd also suggest running amcleanup.
