It is safe to delete all log files that have a filename appended by a reverse date from /var/log, for example "modsec_audit.log-20161110.gz", but not "modsec_audit.log". It also does not make much sense to delete files that are constantly appended (the ones without the date). Personal advice: If your disk space is so small that archived logs are too much to handle, get a bigger server. Consider that you need disk space for backups and also consider to have enough headroom available for unforeseen events.
