PowerTip: Clear All Events from Event Logs by Using PowerShell

Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to clear all events from all event logs.

 How can I use Windows PowerShell to clear all events from all traditional event logs to make it easier
          to find events when I am troubleshooting an intermittent issue on my server?

 Use the Get-EventLog cmdlet to retrieve a list of traditional event logs, and the Clear-EventLog cmdlet
          to clear the event logs:

Clear-EventLog -LogName (Get-EventLog -List).log –WhatIf

If this is what you want to do, remove the –WhatIf parameter:

Clear-EventLog -LogName (Get-EventLog -List).log

Note  You should consider backing up your event logs first.
