Master Archiving and replica

[Viktor]

Hello,

I have running postgresql maste-slave replication with activated
archiving-mode on the master.

Question: is it safe to clean older archived logs or it may corrupt the
slave replication ? And what is the best way to clean them (by making
snapshots)?

Thanks for the link. The topic tells about to clean up WAL file archives
when running as a *standby* server, but I am running archiving just on
the *master* and not on the standby (slave). And I dont have
recovery.conf on the master.
What about cleaning archived wals on the master server ?
