Hello Christopher,
There are some configurable settings on the Transport Service. When you run Get-TransportService | fl *MaxDirectorySize* you find the maximum directory size for some logging directories. You can change these settings with Set-TransportService.
You can also change the LogMaxAge for these different logging types. Get-TransportService | fl *LogMaxAge* shows the maximum log age for the different logging types. These settings can also be changed with Set-TransportService.
Besides those settings, you will still need to clean your IIS logs as suggested earlier.
Best regards,
Ruud Gijsbers

Christopher,
You're welcome. In addition to my previous post, you can follow the steps discussed in the link to disable the Performance and Diagnostic logging completely if you're not interested in the logs.

Otherwise you can schedule the script as discussed earlier to remain some logging.Best regards,
