This file is in my user directory: derby.log.
Can I safely delete it?
Where did it come from and why was it put in my user directory?
Thanks.

What is a user directory?

What version of the Mac OS X/OS X/macOS are you referring to?

A user directory is the directory where all the data for a particular user is stored. It's found in the Users folder at the top level of the startup disk.
