Is there a way I can purge (empty) the ufw log file (located in /var/log/ufw.log) ?
I tried "rm" it didn't work.
I tried to stop ufw, delete the file, I couldn't do it.
Everybody talks about log level but nobody explains how to empty this file...

Did you usesudo? Log files of system applications are system files. Instead of removing the log file it would be better to empty it bysudo echo >/var/log/ufw.log.

As @muclux correctly points out, system files are usually removable only with administrator privileges; e.g. sudo. This command will remove the file:
sudo rm /var/log/ufw.log
Verify:
ls /var/log
