You can safely delete old log files with "rm" command.

I guess that you use laptop mostly without power supply connected. Many
system maintenance routines (including logrotate) newer run in such
condition because the systemd service unit has this condition:

    ConditionACPower=true

I always add an override file for some systemd units, for example:

    $ sudo systemctl edit logrotate.service

Edit file's content so that it has this:

    [Unit]
    ConditionACPower=

After editing you can verify the unit file with:

    $ systemctl cat logrotate.service
