My logs are starting to bite into my storage quota. Can I reclaim this space?

In my testing this morning, I've generated quite a few messages in my
logs. I see that these apparently count toward my storage quota. Is
there any way to reclaim this space? Thanks.

Are you sure it's the logs? I asked Marzia a couple of month ago about
the logs and storage quota, here's the answer:

...anyway, to reclaim the space you can try updating your app's
version and delete the old version after the new one is made default.
I've noticed that each version has its own log.

Thanks, Alexander.  I don't exactly know what's up. I'd bet my house that logs count against quota because this AM I was at about 0.5 MB of disk usage. I created *lots* of log messages and ended up around 1.1 MB used with only a few new data store entities.

Did you create and then delete a lot of entities? If you did, it could
be issue:

Yes, this is entirely possible.  I did a lot of creating and deleting because I was doing load testing.

Will that space be reclaimed?

That's the question for Google engineers. But considering the issue is
"Accepted" and has an internal log number, it should be fixed soon.

By the way, I noticed that after today's database maintenance my app
got a couple of megabytes back.
