I see those 2 folders directly in my Joomla installation - They are on a test live environment
at —> http://csai.grafcomm.ca

First time I see that?

The folder that you're actually using is the one defined in your Global Configuration screen. The other one is obsolete.

Once upon a time, Joomla! used "logs" for the log folder. That conflicts with the Plesk host manager, which uses a logs folder and that folder is not owned by the user, so it can not be written into. We change the folder name to log during the restore to avoid an aborted extraction on Plesk sites. The controversy about which is "proper" rages on. If you are on a Plesk site, it is a very big deal, otherwise, it doesn't matter a bit.

Thanks for the answers.

Sorry Where’s my head, the “logs” folder is Joomla own. What admintool.breaches do in there?

For the “log” folder, I can trash it?
I got also admintool.breaches in there accompany by rockcommon.php (what this doing there and un the “logs” folder?

At some point you have used both log and logs. The one currently pointed to by the setting in Global Configuration is the one you're using currently. The other one is obsolete. The admin.breaches file is Admin Tools' external log file. I don't know what rockcommon.php is used for or what created it. It is probably associated with a template, but that is just a guess. Some of the template makers "fix" the log folder rather than reading what Joomla! points to.
