How to Clear Event Logs in Windows 10 [Tutorial]

The Event Viewer in Windows is a centralized logging service used by applications and operating system components to report events that have occurred, such as the failure of an action or the failure of a component or program to start.

There are several sections in the Event Viewer, such as Application and Security under Windows Logs and Applications and Services Logs. The lists of events in each section in the Event Viewer build up over time and the lists can become very long and slow down the loading time of the Event Viewer. It can also be difficult to find problems. You may even encounter a message that the event log is full.

This article explains how to export event logs for backup, how to clear them, and how to increase the size of an event log.
