Default -bin files in /var/lib/mysql-500

Hi!

In my /var/lib/mysql-500 directory (that's where the database directories
are), I've got files like this:

-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 70396545 Aug 12 18:40 hetzner-bin.000030
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 17952010 Aug 16 22:34 hetzner-bin.000031
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 261778556 Sep 23 21:47 hetzner-bin.000032

Those files are rather large.

Do I need all those files? What do I need them for in the first
place? Can I delete old files?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar
