Answer 1

from this page:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/techarticle/0301kline/0301kline.html
(The article goes into further detail about default locations as well.)
The database logs are initially
created in a directory called
SQLOGDIR, a sub-directory of the
database directory. You can change the
location where active logs and future
archive logs are placed by changing
the value for this configuration
parameter to point to either a
different directory, or to a device.
Archive logs that are currently stored
in the database log path directory are
not moved to the new location if the
database is configured for
roll-forward recovery.
Because you can change the log path
location, the logs needed for
roll-forward recovery may exist in
different directories or on different
devices. You can change this
configuration parameter during the
roll-forward process to allow you to
access logs in multiple locations.
The change to the value of newlogpath
will not be applied until the database
is in a consistent state. An
informational database configuration
parameter, database_consistent,
indicates the status of the database.
Note: The database manager writes to
transaction logs one at a time. The
total size of transactions that can be
active is limited by the database
configuration parameters:

Answer 2

The DB2 log file location can be found from the DB CFG parameter - 'Path to log files'.
The command would be the below, without an explicit connection to the DB.
db2 get db cfg for db_name | grep 'Path to log files'
Else, you can connect to the DB first and use the command as follows:-
db2 connect to db_name
db2 get db cfg | grep 'Path to log files'
db2 terminate

Answer 3

db2 connect to database
db2 get db cfg | grep -i log
cd /data/dblogs/NODE0000(path to the log files)
cd LOGSTREAM0000(these is log folder)
ls -altr(we can see all the log files with .log extension)
rm abc.log (give the log name which you want to delete)
