logging

I need to manage the trace files for a database on Sql Server 2005 Express Edition. The C2 audit logging is turned on for the database, and the files that it's creating are eating up a lot of space.

Can this be done from within Sql Server, or do I need to write a service to monitor these files and take the appropriate actions?

I found the [master].[sys].[trace] table with the trace file properties. Does anyone know the meaning of the fields in this table?
