Those are OMSA log files.
It is not a good idea to remove them at all, but you if you logrotate
them, there should be no problem. Check if you have
/etc/logrotate.d/omsa* file. If so, then consider adding "compress" line
to the script (like below):

/var/log/TTY_00000000.log {
daily
notifempty
dateext
rotate 14
*compress*
postrotate
/etc/init.d/dsm_om_shrsvc restart
endscript
}
