title: Safe to delete innodb_status.* files?
body: <p>Looking at the <code>/var/lib/mysql</code> folder on my Ubuntu 13.10 server I'm seeing a lot of files named <code>innodb_status.*</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Running <code>ls -la</code> these files seem to have no size to them, but I don't want to delete them in case it's doing something important.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
