Those log files are not removed by slapadd (or any other process in 
openldap).  You have to run the db_archive command and remove them 
yourself.  If you have placed the checkpoint control in your slapd.conf 
file, then you should set up a cron job that periodically runs a 
db_archive and removes the log files that are no longer needed.   Belt 
and Suspenders reliability would require that you save the log files off 
to some other media prior to deleting them.
