You can safely delete it or rename it, but I would prefer to have a empty file with the original name, on Unix, you can do a touch.

You can delete the alert file, since it has the information about the messages and errors during the oracle database statup and shutdown,
You may defined the path for alert file in background_dump_dest parameter,
Even if you delete the alert file, during the oracle instance startup, oracle creates the file again.

Run the following command in Unix to make the alert file empty :
$ > alert_xyz.log ( A blank space before ">" )
This would preserve the file but would wipe out it's contents.
