IIS (Internet Information Server) is the service Windows uses to display web pages. This comes with most XP Pro and Windows 2000 installations and is generally only used by web developers or designers. Every time someone requests a page it gets logged to a text file. Unless the computer is a web server, these are generally not needed, and may be safely deleted. This option will safely delete these files.

Yes, it is safe to delete IIS log files. They are just log files for IIS (Internet Information Server) which most regular people don't have. And nobody sane would use IIS anyways since Apache exists.
