Clearing system logs

Please log in to use all features and tutorials

This tutorial will walk you through clearing the system logs on a windows computer. The system keeps a long of what programs you opened, hardware used, etc, along with time stamps, and a bunch of other information you might not want someone to see. This tutorial assumes you're using a Windows based PC.

  1. Navigate to Control Panel
  2. Click Administrative tools. In Windows 7, this is under System and Security in the control panel.
  3. Double click and open Event Viewer
  4. In the left pane, you will see all the different things that are logged. Expand these, right click, and choose Clear log for each log you wanted wiped.

Have fun :)
