How To View and delete Event Viewer Saved Logs in Windows 7 | 8
In the Events Viewer, you will find information regarding the software errors occurred, on-going process,
the boot process or how long your computer is under operation. Windows also stores information there regarding your behaviour on the computer. To delete this data, press the key combination [Windows] + [R] and type the command “eventvwr”. Confirm the mandatory warning message of user account control with “Yes”. Now the Events Viewer will open. Open a category like “Windows Logs” here and then click on a specific log, for example, “Application”. If you wish to delete this log, select the command “Delete Log” in the window “Actions” on the right side and subsequently click on “Empty”. Repeat the last step with all logs that you wish to delete.
In order to clean up the entire Events Viewer, the other option is to start a script “Ereignisanzeige.bat” (on
DVD0. If you have purchased this CHIP edition without the DVD, then instead, create a new text file and write the following program lines in it:
@echo•off
for•/F•"tokens=1,2*"•%%V•IN•('bcdedit')•d
o•set•
adminTest=%%V
if•(%adminTest%)==(Access)•goto•noAdmin
for•/F•"tokens=*"•%%G•in•('wevtutil.
exe•el')•
do•(call•:do_clear•"%%G")
echo.
echo•goto•theE nd
:do_clear
echo•clearing•%1
wevtutil.exe•cl•%1
goto•:eof
:noAdmin
exit
Save the file as “Event Viewer.bat” and then right-click on the Batch file. Select the entry “Run as Administrator”. The Events Viewer will be completely cleaned.
