Will anything bad happen if I delete a file called "windowsearver_last.log" from my computer.
And why the puck dose it need to be 13GBs?

It should be fine to delete. As a test, chuck it in the Trash, restart and play around with the machine for a while. If nothing bad happens, then you know it's pretty safe to delete. It's a bug in OPSX that has let it grow this large. 
I don't see a problem with deleting it... and 13GB??? Something was seriously screwed up on your system.
FWIW, it's an OSX bug but it's nothing to worry about. It probably won't happen again. It's not a sign of impending doom.
Then into the trash it goes.
What about this?

Oh good.FWIW, it's an OSX bug but it's nothing to worry about. It probably won't happen again. It's not a sign of impending doom.

Love it! It'd make a good avatar!
FWIW, it's a _last.log... meaning that it's supposed to be swapped out. Meaning that it's just a back file, basically, in case you should want to look at it. By the time it becomes a _last.log (as opposed to /private/var/log/windowserver.log), it is already not in use by the OS.
I had the same thing happen to me with the same file - I used Omni Disk Sweeper to find it. It was 37 GB big!
