Try renaming the logs then sending SIGHUP to whatever daemon is writing to these files. If the daemon is well-behaved, SIGHUP should cause it to reopen its logfiles without restarting(you should see new files created), after which you can safely delete the old, renamed logfiles.

       -r | --refresh
	      Tell an already running avahi-dnsconfd to refresh the DNS server data. (equivalent to sending a SIGHUP)

       -c | --check

       -h | --help

FILES

       /etc/avahi/avahi-dnsconfd.action: the script to run when a DNS server is found or removed.
