Ok, so the problem hasn't gone away. I have commented out all of the lines
in the torrc file for the logging thinking that would cause no logs to be
created. But it seems that the logs are being created someplace else. Where
would these logs be, as they have again filled up my hard drive to 100% and
I need to purge them to get my system working again.

Thanks for the assistance. The section in the torrc file relating the log
files is below, and as I said I have commented out each line. Would the logs
be going to the stderr or syslog as a default location. I probably should
just send the logs to /dev/null just to make sure that they stop filling my
hard drive.

#Log debug-info file /var/log/tor/debug.log
## Send ONLY debug messages to /usr/local/var/log/tor/debug.log
#Log debug-debug file /var/log/tor/debug.log
## Send ONLY warn messages to /usr/local/var/log/tor/debug.log
#Log debug-warn file /var/log/tor/debug.log
## To use the system log instead of Tor's logfiles, uncomment these lines:
#Log notice syslog
## To send all messages to stderr:
#Log debug stderr
