I am defo sure that my syntax was fine.

I have tried the same syntax to remove the logs manually from the 
folder  and it worked perfectly.

The cronjob was set from root, so I am assuming it has the right 
privileges over the folder in cause.


@ Adrian the cluster runs on Rocky9

There is no error from cron that is the weird bit as well.

I do not have MAILTO set up on cron.

Regards,

Paul
