So I just recently installed Ubuntu and today I discovered, that my kern.log and syslog files in /var/log/ are way to big (16.5GB and 13.0GB). I started to look into this, and discovered that the culprit was presumably the following line, which is spamed like a million time in both files.
kernel: [ 6292.136835] usb 3-1: cannot submit urb 0, error -2: endpoint not enabled
I have absolutely no idea what causes this and I am also wondering how to stop that from happening?
Also, can I delete those two files, since they take up a lot of space and if yes how (can't right click and delete them).
EDIT: To clarify, the sound-card that caused the problem was the Kingston HyperX Amp and after not finding out on how to make it work, I returned it.

It was a USB sound card that caused the log entries. Removing the sound card stopped the log entries.
