  • 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. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
