[App_rpt-users] hda1 cleanup

[David McGough]

If you're not concerned about saving debug info, just delete the file. You 
may have to restart Asterisk to get it to "let loose" of the old file.

If you do need debug into, mv the messages file to another name (like: 
messages.20150907) and then gzip it; that log is -very- compressible.
