When I run the command tail tail /var/log/syslog.1, this error pops up:
Sep 21 08:09:52 michael-pc io.elementary.cerbere.desktop[2091]: [00007ff48401b430] vdpau_chroma filter error: video mixer features failure: An invalid handle value was provided.
I had tried googling the problem but it seems like I am the only one who has this problem. I suspect this is the main reason why my log files' size is large.
we have the same problem, this problem occurs when a locked system is running VLC (in my problem), here I include the log, to solve it i do truncate sudo truncate -s 0 /var/lib/syslog, this is because of Nvidia Driver.

I think i have got a solution to the problem. When I started VLC from the commandline (terminal), all the erros went there instead of filling up my disk.
