Windows 7 Clear the Windows 7 Event Viewer with One Click.

I'd figure this be the right place to put this. Do not know if it had been posted but it took me ten minutes to clear every event log, decided to check if there were a batch file of some sort for clearing the event viewer log in a one click easy fast way, stumbled upon this.

Clear the Windows 7 Event Viewer with One Click bat file.

Clearing the Windows Event Viewer logs can be a helpful task for troubleshooting and system maintenance. Creating a batch file to clear the Event Viewer logs with one click is indeed possible. Below is a simple batch script that you can use to achieve this on a Windows 7 system:

@echo off FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('wevtutil.exe el') DO (wevtutil.exe cl "%%G") echo Event Viewer logs cleared successfully. pause

Here's how this batch file works:

• It uses wevtutil.exe to list all event logs (with wevtutil.exe el) and then clears each log (with wevtutil.exe cl) one by one.
• The echo command displays a message once the logs are cleared, and pause keeps the Command Prompt window open so you can see the message.

To create and use this batch file:

1. Open Notepad and paste the script provided above.
2. Save the file with a .bat extension (e.g., ClearEventLogs.bat).
3. Double-click the batch file to run it. It will clear all Event Viewer logs on the Windows 7 system. Remember, clearing Event Viewer logs is irreversible, so make sure you understand the implications before running the script.
